I have a flatmate who is making the switch from windows 10 to linux and I Fedora is a distro that I trust to provide a good stable experience. I however use Nobara which comes with all the gaming related tweaks already done. I dont want to recomend Nobara because its package management is intuitive.
The changes i think I need to make is, remove fedora flatpak store. Enable non free software repo. Install proprietary nvidia driver. Install steam, wine, lutris, heroic store.
Is there anything that is required for a smooth Fedora gaming experience?
Man why not just use Kubuntu and be done with it. You get proprietary drivers out of the box along with proprietary codecs and all.
Steam, Heroic, etc all install great with the packaging system of your choice (deb, snap, flatpak, appimage whatever)
Seriously, I complained about snaps at first, but as a daily user for several months now as a gaming system it works fucking great. And it’s stable as heck so I NEVER have any problems.
