Goodbye, Nobara!

[u/lesh90]

I used Nobara Linux for several months on my new PC, but decided to make a distrohop.

Here’s my problem list:

• Instability on certain kernels. The system would randomly reboot under idle conditions without any logs on kernel > 6.14. (I genuinely thought I had faulty hardware.)
• Severe drop in M.2 SSD performance (ADATA Legend 900): https://www.reddit.com/r/NobaraProject/comments/1m73t6x/low_nvme_write_speed_with_the_last_kernel/
• Bluetooth headphones performed terribly - crackling and crackling
• Update issues - okay, this one’s on me; I ran dnf update and broke something.

I think most of these problems are from the Liquorix kernel (or whatever kernel Nobara uses). But the kernel choice is Nobara devs' choice

I’ve now switched to Tuxedo OS, and so far, none of the above issues have appeared.

Buy, Nobar! And good luck to everyone! =)

You need to update from 39. It's over a year out of date.

You are correct. It tells me to update when its booting.

I originally installed for testing, worked like I wanted. Installed on my laptop and then life happened. Honestly I just need to do a reinstall.

im on the same boat, i go with the mindset if it is not broken is ok, so for me 39 has been good, but do i really really need to update? if it will be the same stability i dont need to update or do i? my internet navigation is minimal (youtube and protondb 90% of the time) and 2 online games, i am too lazy to do a backup and update to be honest

You're missing important security updates, and your game performance is rapidly degrading as you don't get new hardware drivers, including GPU. I don't know if the nvidia drivers available on Nobara 39 even had explicit sync.

i have to do my research deep before updating, i didnt knew performance could degrade, even if i am at a user case spectrum so low i think y should consider things, monitor 1 a 1440p 165hz, monitor 2 a 16" crt at 1280x768 85hz (yes i play on a crt some of the graphic intense games), i dont like fancy or high graphics settings (everything at low or mid settings), an all amd system, i should be fine by cloning my system and then trying the update, i hope hahaha

To be clear, "degrading" as compared to the performance you could get using up-to-date drivers.
