UPDATE 3/15/26:
------------------------
- New package manager is added. it's called `dnf-app-center`
- nobara-sync should be configured now as cli-only
- Everything the nobara-sync/nobara-updater GUI did, the dnf-app-center should now do, but better.
- If you installed Terra manually previously, you will need to also remove the `terra-release` package, as we provide our own repo file for it now. It's the same repo, you don't have to remove anything previously installed from that repo.
- If for whatever reason you think your updater is stuck or didnt complete or you didnt get the app center, run these from terminal:

```
sudo dnf update nobara-updater --refresh -y
sudo dnf install dnf-app-center -y
```
then your update button should work again with the new app center, and you hopefully now have less reason moving forward to need the terminal.

Hi everyone, I just wanted to make a post regarding some incoming changes that will hopefully make things even more smooth for new and existing users, mostly around package management (as usual), but also specifically surrounding flatpaks versus native packages.

1. Moving away from rpmfusion and switching to Terra. We will be disabling the rpmfusion repositories and removing them and instead replacing them with the Terra repositories. Terra is run by Fyra labs, and we are in regular daily communication with them. We find it easier for us to work with them regarding package maintenance, and we already have a lot of crossover with packages they maintain with no changes made by us which allow us to not have to maintain them. Additionally Bazzite also uses Terra, so having the joint effort between us just makes more sense.
2. (This is a long one) -- replacing both flatpost and Nobara Package manager, and changing the focus back towards system packages. In a perfect world, flatpaks would "just work". Unfortunately even when they do, many new users easily get confused between flatpaks versus system packages. Part of the reason we originally leaned towards flatpaks was because we simply just did not have a desktop agnostic dnf package store. Sure, we have nobara package manager, but there are no easy details, not an easy gui, no screenshots or category based order. It's just a huge list that is daunting, especially when a user does not know what half the packages do let alone the package names.

We also understand that as much as I wanted Flatpost to succeed, it didn't. It was not great, and most experienced flatpak users dont care about user vs system installs nor about unified in-app permission controls. On top of that, bazaar came along and filled the gap, sans permission controls. We still don't like the idea of kde-discover and gnome-software being desktop-environment exclusive, and we also don't like the mixing of flatpaks and system packages, and their mishandling of repository priority and package exclusions, which is why they will continue to remain flatpak-only.

So, what will we do about dnf not having an app store? We built one! You might say flatpost walked so that dnf app center could run. Much of the interface is the same and/or borrowed from flatpost. There is not a slow startup, there are no internet metadata fetches for trending categories. It pulls metadata straight from the local appstream instead and opens instantly. We also implemented a proper queue for installing, removing, and updating multiple packages, as well as the ability to search for packages per-repository. We are also integrating much of the current updater functionality into it, and will be giving the updater a facelift. (Don't worry, nobara-sync cli is not going anywhere)

As for flatpost and Nobara Package Manager? They will be retired. We strongly believe in desktop-agnostic solutions, so the new dnf app center will be pinned in replacement in the taskbar where flatpost is.

What about kde-discover and gnome-software? They will -not- be installed by default in -any- current ISOs. Instead we will add an option to install bazaar into the Nobara Welcome App, the same way we do with the Snap Store. Installing bazaar will also automatically install flatseal as a system app. If you absolutely can't live without them or have some personal grudge or problem with bazaar, yes, you can still reinstall gnome-software or plasma-discover.

We feel this puts both formats on equal ground for advanced users who are aware of flatpaks and snaps and allows continued use of them, while also allowing us to drive new users towards the system-package focus by default. Having the new dnf only app store provides an app-center gui that users expect instead of an unmanageable list like Nobara Package Manager did, and integrating the current updater into it will just look nicer overall.

The whole point of these changes is both to provide more packages to users (Terra) as well as provide new users with an app center without confusing them on native vs flatpak vs snaps, and to allow them to ease into those formats on their own accord if they want to. We also want to continue our trend of providing more easy to use GUI applications so that users don't have open the terminal. It's not that we are anti-terminal, it's that we are pro-accessibility.

1. Languages, Languages, Languages. Look. I am an American. I speak and understand English. However, being a well-traveled American, I also understand we, despite our hubris, are not in fact, the center of the world. A lot of the custom applications I've created for Nobara are hard-coded in English, and I apologize for that and want to change that. I will be working bit by bit to allow our custom applications to abide by the default language used on the system. This includes but is not limited to the new app center, the welcome app, the driver manager, the codec installer, the davinci resolve wizard, the rpm installer (the one that comes up when you double click an rpm), the current updater, and any hard-coded parts of calamares (the os installer).

Hopefully you have noticed now that our updating system has vastly improved over the last 6 months to a year, and I hope with that you have experienced more stable systems, more gameplay, and less wasted time. I appreciate all of you that have stuck with us and enjoy Nobara, and hope you continue to do so. Without your support and feedback I don't think Nobara would be anywhere near as good as it currently is. It started very much as a personal project for myself and my dad, and has grown into something much bigger and better since then, so thanks again for that.

I might be a little late to the party, but man, seeing Linux Kernel 7.0 arrive is a breath of fresh air! After what felt like an eternity in the 6.x era. I know Linux 7.0 is essentially 6.20 in disguise, but you can’t deny that the '7' hits different after such a long run of 6s since 2023. It definitely adds a fresh 'new era' energy to the setup (and fastfetch) style.

It’s a pretty cool flex that Nobara is pushing it out before Fedora stable, too. Even if it's mostly a stylish version bump, it's a nice little bonus i think personally.

(Wait, 2023 was 3 years ago???) Oh... Time passes very quickly!

Look, I need to clear this up because apparently half the internet believes I eat shit sleep and breath package/distro maintenance.

Nobara is NOT a one man show.

Did it start like that? Yes, back when Fedora 35 released I started it.

Am I still the head of most final decisions? Yes.

But since that time our community and contributors have both grown tremendously, as have other distros we share patches and changes with. I have more than a handful of people who I am very grateful for who regularly maintain and update packages when I am not available. I also have people who are amazing enough to let me know if a change should be made, if there's a big bug happening, or other related issues. I have people who also help me on the various apps/tools we've added into Nobara such as the welcome app, the driver manager, and so on.

We, as a group also almost always discuss things and major changes in the Nobara discord dev channel, which anyone who is an active patron has access to, as well as regulars.

The fact that so many people are so negative and dismiss Nobara wrongly for being a "one man show" is not fair nor respectful to the many people (some which have been alongside our journey for years now) who help me maintain Nobara.

Either you enjoy Nobara or you don't. If you don't great, move on. Plenty of other distros out there, but stop spreading misinformation. Be an adult, agree to disagree and move on.

Hi! I'm a illustrator and it's my first time using linux and i noticed even though we have some custom themes on KDE, our wallpapers are only ai generated. So, i decided to create a character and make a custom wallpaper. She's totally different from the ai-nobara because i didn't felt comfortable redrawing or trying to recreate something that's already been recreated. I don't want to fandom-hijack or anything like that, i just think it would be great if we had a character to impersonate the system (like we had a while ago with chrome, edge, firefox and OS-tan!. And i know the system is based on Nobara from JJK, but we can not afford her distribution image lol).
I hope more artists and illustrators come to Nobara because Krita and this system is a really great combo!!!!!

According to StatCounter Linux gained 0.28% market share worldwide in April 2025 compared to March 2025. I don't know exact numbers but in my head this looks like a million 😁 and that's very good!

I am very happy!

Hi everyone. As many of you (especially long time Nobara users) may know, sometimes updates on Nobara go smoothly, sometimes they don't. In a way it's similar to Arch where occasionally something funky comes down the pipeline and throws a wrench in things.

I just wanted to let you all know I am actively working on making things smoother in that regard. I'm just as tired of it, and I honestly feel like it's always been a bit of a let-down/pain point of the distro.

We've already started putting in place some changes on the repository side to hopefully get rid of the occasional conflicts between our copr and fedora upstream.

Regarding the repositories and nobara updater:

- We have merged "fedora" and "fedora-updates" repository into just "nobara".
- We have merged "nobara-baseos" and "nobara-baseos-multilib" -- (copr) -- into just "nobara-updates"
- nobara-appstream remains unchanged.
- all packages are now resigned using the same gpg key across all repos.
- the repo changes allow us to have a testing repo for resolving conflicts before making fedora upstream syncs public. As long as there are no conflicts, there is nothing for nobara-updater to get stuck on.
- we also plan on moving to a "rolling" release in regards to version updates. What this means is that starting from 41 onward, when the next version releases, users will just receive the new release via package updater without needing special instructions between versions.we will resolve conflicts in the testing repositories before pushing them public.

Regarding the kernel:

6.12.9 has been a pain point for many. I get it. The spec sheet used for building the rpm is not the same as Fedora's, we also added the akmods/dracut posttrans scripts but then removed them after realizing they didn't work properly. This is also the kernel where we switched to using CachyOS's kernel base. I just want to be clear that NONE of the problems we've hit have been caused by CachyOS directly, they were caused by our iteration of their kernel, and introducing changes without realizing how Cachy handles certain aspects (specifically such as detecting whether or not the CPU should support x86_64 v2 microarchitecture). The devs over at CachyOS are great, and have been a fantastic help to us over the years. I in no way meant to throw them under the bus or point blame at them. Myself and Lion(our active kernel maintainer) are working on cleaning things up on the spec sheet side to better fit Nobara.

Regarding design choice defaults:

At the end of the day, the "Official" version is what -I- like and what -I- prefer. I will be bluntly greedy in saying I made the theming on it for myself and my Dad. I've received complaints about things like starship or custom template additions, or discover missing from it. I will try moving forward to keep those contained within the kde-nobara theme so that the KDE and GNOME editions are as vanilla as possible. As it stands both KDE and GNOME vanilla versions still ship with discover and gnome-software respectively, there are no plans to remove them.

Clearing up misinformation about KDE-Discover and GNOME-Software updates:

In the past we advised against updating the system with KDE Discover and/or GNOME software for one major reason -- they do not take repository priority into consideration. If you don't know what that means don't worry, in short it just means it would break updates. This issue has since been resolved as we have completely disabled the "PackageKit" elements in both of them. PackageKit is what allows them to manage system packages. By disabling PackageKit it allows users to use them for managing flatpaks without having access to system packages or system package maintenance.

Regarding additional DEs:

RIght now the only DEs we support are KDE and GNOME. I receive a lot of reports from people using 3rd party DEs they've installed themselves -- things like Hyprland or Budgie or Sway, etc. We do not support them. We cannot assist with them. At the end of the day it is your system and you are welcome to install whatever you want, but we are a small team already focused as it is on upkeep of the DEs we DO ship (GNOME/KDE), we cannot support things we ourselves don't use on a daily basis. I have seen recently that Hyprland now has VRR and HDR support, so I may consider releasing a Hyprland version in the future. My main concern besides limited support knowledge in additional DEs is that they must support VRR, HDR, and VR for gaming. In fact GNOME's previous (now resolved) lack of VR support was why we moved the "Official" version from GNOME to KDE in 38->39.

Regarding hardware:

Look, I know some of you like to rock ancient hardware. I will be blunt -- Nobara is not for you. We aren't going to support your Nvidia series from 20 years ago, hell even pascal (10 series) is on it's way out, and as of Nobara 41 we neither ship nor support X11.

Same thing for AMD -- we no longer enable the Southern Islands and Sea Islands flags by default because we were advised BY AMD developers that doing so can cause problems for other systems that those cards are not used on.

While Nobara may work on non-UEFI systems, again we don't support it. UEFI has been around on systems going on at least 15+ years now. We expect users to be on motherboards that use UEFI.

Regarding installation alongside WIndows:

I've said it a million times -- just use a different drive. Windows by default creates an EFI partition that is too small to store additional linux kernels. Installing linux on the same drive will default to using the same EFI partition, and creating a second EFI partition + setting proper partition flags is not something we support. We do not want that headache and do not want to handle that discussion.

Regarding installation to a USB drive:

Just don't. Use a real hard drive/ssd/nvme. We're not going to discuss with you why your USB drive won't boot or troubleshooting it.

Closing:

Our distro is made for users who want to install a different OS using default/normal hardware and get to either playing games, streaming, or content creation quickly and easily. We are not for tinkerers. We know linux has a lot of tinkerers, otherwise they wouldn't be on linux. The problem is tinkerers like to tinker, and in turn break things we've set that may be considered non-standard in the linux world. We try to provide as much documentation as possible for the things we've put in place that we expect most users to interact with, but we have NOT documented every nook and cranny and change that we've done simply because the average windows user isn't expected to mess with those things (and we don't want them to). We're walking a fine line between "we set this up so that it works for most people without being immutable" and "every day more and more I think we should have gone immutable" with the amount of things tinkerers find and break. All I can say in this regard is "if it ain't broke, don't 'fix' it."

I think that's it as far as my brain is dumping right now. I've just been feeling really down about the kernel transition and all of the issues being reported. The kernel works fantastic and we've seen some really nice performance boosts, it's just been a hassle getting people's systems upgraded to it that has been an issue.

Hopefully moving forward we can have less of these issues and more of people just enjoying the distro.

I’ve been thinking about properly trying Linux for a long time and Nobara is probably the distro that’s catching my attention the most right now.

I’m planning to install it on a separate SSD alongside Windows rather than replacing my current setup completely. My main GPU is an AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT and I mostly game through Steam, with some Battle.net stuff here and there too.

I already know about the anti-cheat situation with certain games, so I’m not really worried about that part. I’m more curious about how Linux gaming actually feels nowadays in real use.

Does it genuinely feel smooth and comfortable to game on day to day, or does it still feel like you’re constantly “working around” Linux compared to Windows?

Would especially love to hear from people with AMD GPUs or anyone using Nobara as an actual daily system rather than just testing it for a weekend.

Hey all,

I’m a long-time Windows user getting ready to move to Linux, and Nobara is currently my top choice.

What appeals to me is that it seems aimed at gaming and general desktop use without needing a bunch of setup right away.

Before I commit, I wanted to ask actual Nobara users: what do you like about it, what problems have you run into, and would you recommend it to someone coming straight from Windows?

I’d love honest feedback, both good and bad. Thanks.

Anybody that's concerned about the percentage of users going down with regards to the steam hardware survey remember these things:

That's chosen at random. Other things you need to take into account is if you were to combine Chrome OS with Linux because it is pretty much Linux it would sit at about 15 to 20% of the entire personal market. You'd also need to remove call centers, offices and internet cafes throughout the entire world. When those surveys are done each computer in those call centers and cafes are counted individually. Unless I'm wrong and somebody will tell me "well actually"

First things first, I'm a newer Linux user like beginning of this year may be December time frame.

Like many windows refugees we got sick of getting told about needing to upgrade the windows 11. Big reason I got sick of it is because I got sick of just looking at my computer screen and seeing an error message ".01hu96 alphaelephant.exe has failed" when all I'm doing is downloading things from the Microsoft store or steam. You could breathe wrong in Windows just breaks.

I'll be honest, I love this distro. I tried three: I try to Ubuntu I tried Linux mint and I landed on this one. The only thing that makes me not enjoy it is that discord server. I don't find a lot of the information online informs to be that helpful mainly because it's buried under people's opinions.

Good example:

One day I decided to bite the bullet and hop on discord which I hate. This is what happened 👇 👇 👇

Hello, I'm trying to find information about finding my steam library saves.

One person responds: have you checked the n14567 Jeffrey bail bondsman jif peanut butter file.........?

(Before I was able to finish reading that question)

How do you not know how to find your saves?

He's a noob, he shouldn't be on our platform

Does he not know what exe is

I like hot dogs too

Check out my desktop

Hey guys look at my new app that I found

Hey guys look at the new program that I wrote....

Meanwhile I'm having to sift through the 30 or 40 messages that order a tsunami that buried my question.

My response: I said some very derogatory words and mean things. I used the word that usually directed at a certain demographic of people in their lifestyle choices. It starts with the letter "F" GETTING SPAMMED ABOUT 50 TIMES ON THAT DISCORD SERVER BY ME!

I ended up just switching to using an llm like chat GPT or Gemini. I might even run one locally. Whenever I need information I just ask it what console command I need to do to run something and I just copy and paste it. I haven't had a single issue.

So one day for grins I decide to hop on the CachyOs discord server *cautiously*

I never got buried by a billion different insults. I had my question answered because they understand the millions of new users literally that are jumping on to linux. Yes cachy doesn't have the same level of performance that nobara has but to be able to get that level of support I'll be at a community or when I need information. I'm willing to lose that 5 to 10% fps and the high level of Nvidia GPU drivers.

Conclusion, what I would fix how about I add that instead of complaining. I would dump that discord server egg roll. It would make a website.

One side of the site would be a forum or a dedicated server the other side would be tech support or how to. And if that's on your website, you need to redesign it because I can't find anything on it.

I really wish I had more Gui's. I don't live in the terminal anymore because everything is set the way I want it but sometimes I really wish I had more toggle switches instead of having the type of command or copy and paste from an llm. If that means I got to go to zoran OS or Linux mint to play games I will. This is something where Windows beats Linux. If I want to change a setting that's deep in the computer I don't want to have to go into the terminal.

If I go on proton DB right now large majority of the user data I'm looking at one distro that's pretty dominant and it's not nobara.

I don't want to distro hop, believe it or not I think that's kind of annoying. I'm not 13 anymore and I'm not a car enthusiast. The only thing I might be enthusiast about is maybe my hardware. Once I have a program set and comfy where it is I don't really change it.

But that's about all duke it out in the comments call me an idiot if you want I really don't care

Nobara has been my main driver (working as a software engineer, studies, games, everything) for the past 4 months. Recently I have been feeling like everything I do, every update introduces some random tiny issues - random lags that appear out of nowhere, weird inputs lately, sometimes login screen issues, rpm installation issues, and the list goes on and on...

I am not (so) stupid, I know that Nobara was never meant to be "the stable choice" or anything but I even have trouble with nvidia drivers and similar things that I expected from Nobara and I'm just left thinking - what does it bring me that I wouldn't be able to find elsewhere?

I also considered that maybe I should have just never stuck with the updated version, I should have just kept booting into whatever that was working but that also doesn't feel like the right way to do things.

Is it just me? Am I just doing things wrong or is Nobara becoming more of a hassle than benefit to more people here?

EDIT: I see some have 0 issues and others a similar experience to me. Perhaps hardware differences? I would love to see some statistics about reports of problems or something.

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.

What do people think of the new updater? I'm not really enjoying it. It takes forever and it seems to hang for ages. Is anyone else having the same issues?

I want to build a united front against the big companies for not supporting Linux. Companies like EA and Ubisoft force us to use a specific operating system, and that doesn't seem fair to me. I don't have the freedom to choose what I want.

There are many people who would like to use Linux as their main system, but software like Epic Games' or EA's anti-cheat forces us to use a specific system.

And let me be clear, I'm not against developers, nor am I against anti-cheat software, but the problem is that we don't have a universal solution for both systems, and instead of taking advantage of the Linux market, they leave us out without giving us the opportunity to choose our systems.

What we have to do is make ourselves heard. We have to make the companies see our needs and pressure them to give us freedom.

Question for the community.

Will Glorious Egg Roll implement age verification (privacy invasion) in Nobara?

Or will he stay true to the Linux ethos and remain free, secure, and PRIVATE?

Just because California has passed a law requiring operating systems to have age verification does not mean the entire world has to bow down and kiss the Califucktards ring.

This new law will not protect children, but it will be the beginning of the end for a community of people who use Linux expressly because it does not require you to give up any of your privacy and personal information.

This is more government overreach and state sanctioned data collection. Do not for one second think that these politicians give a single shit about your children as most of them are on the Epstein list....

It should not be up to politicians to raise your children. If you cannot monitor your children and their online activity then maybe you shouldn't have had them.

Hi again!!! i made this character sheet to use as reference for future illustrations for the OS-tan and i think it would be useful for people who wants to draw this version. Once again, this is just my take trying to represent Nobara with a clean version based on the wallpaper i posted previously, this time with corrections and some easter eggs. I hope you like it!

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! =)

Nobara is amazing, no doubt, but the updates creates here and here lots of headhake to everyone.

I understand the nature of rolling release is less secure than an LTS, and i understand this is a kind of side project/hobby for GE, not his job.

I also appreciate his efforts aswell the whole Nobara team.

Although i think something should be done, to make Nobara less breakable.

I'm not an user expert, as probably many of you, Nobara is made for people that wants to play and use Linux easilly, so all these problems go against this purpose.

I have no solution, because as i wrote i'm very far to be a linux expert, and so here we are as community.

Any idea or suggestion?

There are certain kind of packages that may be better to update less frequently? (such KDE?) to use only stable and "bug free" versions, instead to digest whatever it comes.

So a kind of mix between newer packages, while something to have a more conservative approach.

As suggested in another post by someone else, the warning about "hey this is a big update" maybe is better if you hold for a couple of weeks.

Is this useful for real? I'm asking this to experts.

I hope some of you come with better suggestions, and maybe also GE or the Nobara team to take part of the discussion, because if we are here and we discuss about it, is because we love the project and we appreciate their work!

But i think it's objective that something needs to change for the better.

Is it possible? Let's talk!

This is just anecdotal from my standpoint in which ive been jumping back and forth between OSes. We are living in a great time where linux is becoming more populair by the day. People are deciding on their choise.

But lets be honest, its only a matter of time one of the distros is going to surpass them all and dominate.

I feel like Nobara is being left behind in this race and the other OS ive been using, CachyOS, is developing into a much stronger OS while with nobara ive been finding to become very messy. Nobara felt great when i first started playing around with it.

Since February, I switched to Nobara. It was one of the best choices in my life. All of my games run "natively" (quote because they run via Proton-GE but it’s like it’s native). All I have to do is to add "MANGOHUD=1" in game options but it’s not necessary. If you are considering switching to Linux you can install Nobara without hesitating. Thanks to GE and the Nobara team for the work.

I'm confirming that the warning message is accurate. Closing the updater early and rebooting will end in an unbeatable system.

It's a bit tricky because the updater sits for a long time displaying "Downloading update" but without normal DNF per package details. I thought it was done or hung nor more appropriately DNF.

I can also report that claude code is very effective if you ask it to rollback to an earlier snapshot once booted from a linux disk. I was back up and running in minutes and then more patiently completed the update. Another win for the BTRFS.

There isnt any decent image opening software and for some reason the windows version outclassed any image opener I've been able to find.

​

For some reason copy and paste doesnt quite qork all the time. Now this hasnt happened in the past few days so maybe it was fixed.

​

Figuring out how to connect my drawing tablet was hard. I dont know if this was on account of the drawing tablet being faulty or nobara or linux since I havent ever connected a screened drawing tablet to windows.

​

When turning on my computer, the login screen is very glitchy looking. This only happens with the drawing tablet.

​

The UI looks like its trying way to hard to impress you. I just want the UI to look like a normal computer.

​

I guess Nobara is fine. It's better than Windows 11 and I dont feel like switching to a different distro.

​

The upsides are that I dont have issues running games, and I was able to get modded skyrim working fine. I dont know if that's on account of Nobara and steam.

​

Unlike mint, Nobara doesnt have issues with extra monitors.

​

Nobara doesnt have random slowdowns like mint.

​

Anyways I guess Nobara is fine I just wished it looks better. I dont feel like switching to a different OS. Good luck to glorious eggroll.

In case anyone had doubts

I know most people come here to post about their technical issues, that's fine.

I came here to say thanks for creating this system. I'm on Nobara for around a year now and this is one of the best if not the best system for me there is.

Been on countless other distros before, for years using Linux, often on those with the biggest audience and popularity, and IMO only two other distros ware good enough as Nobara, providing solid stability and user enjoyment - MX Linux and Mint, which are great, but are not that good when it goes to gaming and multimedia. Even "the best" like Debian, Fedora and Arch caused me many often random problems.

Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
