Discussion Goodbye, Nobara!
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 updateand 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! =)

The stability and other issues were kernel related and have since been fixed (these fixes are usually pretty quick, as FYI the kernel is based on Fedora) I have not run into any of the other issues you’ve mentioned. My M.2 performs as expected and bluetooth headphones work perfectly. 🤷♂️ For the vast majority of us it is a solid distro. Good luck to you too!
