Could you swiftly describe what makes you prefer nobara over the others?
It comes with eveything for gaming and multimedia work pre-install, the 2 thing I use my pc for. Codecs, steam and proton, Da Vinci resolve, etc. Flagship version uses KDE. There's a nice little app manager. Really easy installation process. It's a fedora spin-off so it follows the same release cycle, usually updated within a few days. Updates use to be a bit complicated, breaking drivers, etc. but it's much more stable these days. There's not a huge community, basically discord and reddit, but people do try to help. Usually you can follow the instruction for fedora for any tricky installation. Great distro overall.
Looks like that might be my next try. I haven't had much luck so far :(
I have a lot of drives and nobara comes with a auto mount manager that proved to be very useful. The update manager works great, it by default makes backups with updates to fedora.
It seems they have made the OS extremely user friendly with the ability to still customize.
