Just felt like posting here since no one else will! Don't tell me to go to Discord... The UI enrages me like no other.
I'm newish, started with Nobara 39, did a fresh install of 40 after upgrade had dependency problems with wine-staging64 and one other (k5s-something? Sorry). I want to like this distro... Some observations:
The live environment is allowed to suspend the PC during the install process!
Discover Software Center seems to be gone and I can't install it; I get a notification: "Plasma Workspace / Could not read file appstream://org.kde.discover.desktop."
There is Nobara Package Manager, a huge list with checkboxes down the left that need to be individually clicked; right-click and Select all doesn't do anything.
I still (sometimes) get Plasma graphical glitches on resuming from suspend. NVIDIA!
My son's ancient PC runs 39 beautifully, but 40 lags every five seconds even just sitting idle at the desktop.
Games are running great and I love the ease of installing Steam an
I got a Zephyrus Duo laptop with Windows 10 and Linux mint dual booted. I've recently heard about Nobara, and I'd want to distro hop to it as it has all my daily apps, more recent drivers, and good Nvidia support. It would replace my linux mint partition.
Thing is, my laptop came in with windows bitlocker, and secure boot. The former isn't really an issue as both OS would be on different drives. But the latter prevents me to boot Nobara as it's a unsigned distro.
I'm wondering about whether I should sacrifice secure boot for Nobara, and if I should, how to deal with windows being bitlocked.
I don't really use windows anymore but I do still need it, so no, I won't uninstall it.
Fedora 35 is an impressive Linux distribution that debuted with GNOME 41 and introduced a new KDE variant.

While Fedora Linux has constantly been improving the desktop experience, it may not be an ideal desktop distribution for ever...
