    I get a bit confused when I see projects like this.

    Why would we need a whole new distro based on Fedora when all these tweaks could be done by adding a repo and setting the priority? I feel like I’m going to loose the security fixes from upstream, or they will be delayed way too long. I’d much rather a repo that had patched kernels, a Steam install that doesn’t need tweaking on an AMD laptop, and good Proton-GE support, this just seems like a waste of everyone’s time, including the developers.

    But that’s just me! You do you! I just don’t get it.

    (Also, I’d like to keep SELinux, it’s not that hard if you know how to use the proper tools and most issues are a one-line fix.)

      I’m building a gaming PC for my Dad and am planning to install Nobara for him. For one he doesn’t know what a “repo” is much less a kernel or Proton-GE.

      But for two, I use it myself because I’m lazy. I appreciate that someone takes the time to patch things to work optimally out of the box. Sure I could patch things myself, but I’m not in tune with the latest state of drivers and proton and workarounds for Linux gaming. I won’t notice if new patches are needed or old ones are no longer needed.

      It’s nice that I can leave all that to GloriousEggroll.
