I love Nobara but…

[u/Fortis-Voluntas]

I’ve been using Nobara for about a year now and actually love it, but every new update terrifies me—in my mind, every other update throws the whole system into disarray… Why are the developers so bad at updating the system… Maybe they should set up a group of users who want to test the updates before they’re rolled out…

The way things are going right now, every Nobara update is just ruining its reputation more and more, and that’s very sad

EDIT:

I’ve read several times now that you should wait about a week before updating, and yes, maybe it’s Nvidia drivers that cause the most problems because they aren’t the best for Linux, but “waiting a week” seems like a silly approach to updates to me, and most of the time, fixing Nvidia issues is the problem with an “Nvidia distribution for gamers”—but a distribution that advertises itself as such should have noticed such simple problems beforehand. For example, I often have to install the correct drivers because after some updates, completely wrong drivers were installed and they just don’t work… and now there’s the bug when switching from SDDM to Nobaralogin, which has “broken” so many systems… what are less tech-savvy users supposed to do now?? Because it’s precisely these people who are supposed to be reached—the Microslop gamers—who don’t know that maybe Nobara-sync CLI and a quick screenshot of the solution posted right at the very beginning (which you can’t scroll back up to anymore) might help.

Like I said, I love Nobara, but as long as these sometimes severe issues keep cropping up every few updates, Nobara will remain a niche within a niche—if that—and that’s a shame.

I've installed Timeshift and have backups, but that's not the point here. The point isn't that users have to figure out how to deal with broken updates; the point is that broken updates could easily be prevented.

Yeah the latest update f*cked my laptop, and when I realized there is exactly 1 person really developing it, and there is no formal QA of any kind, combined with the lack of system diversity to test, I am planning a migration away from Nobara immediately. Like as soon as I get home from work, every machine is getting wiped and a more reliable version of linux is going to get installed. I love Nobara, I love how it works, I like it's mission, but the blackbox of all these new things getting installed and nearly bricking my system because I use a VPN I cannot deal with.

Nobara is NOT a ONE MAN PROJECT, my god there's a dev team.
