If you're gonna game on Fedora, you should game on Nobara.

Nobara is based on Fedora, So it already comes with that history and support, but with gaming focused tweaks and changes. Its created and run by Glorious Eggroll, the same guy that does the custom proton versions, and the reason why I suggest Nobara above everything else is that it has all the game related stuff baked in, with easy updaters to keep anything thats not updated by the system updater up to date with a simple click.

So no having to compile shit from sources or anything else. Its all done, and packaged, for easy use and updating.

Its as user friendly as ubuntu, and ready to go for gaming.

In the use case of the person who originally commented I would rather use Fedora and then eventually tweak it using some of Nobara's stuff to my liking.

And thats fine for you if thats what you want to do.

Not everyone wants to spend endless hours tweaking.

I’m stuck. I want a distro that makes gaming easy-ish

And judging by this, he doesnt either. He just wants games to work easily. and Nobara does that. since it has everything ready to go. Especially since it has a version that also has the nvdia drivers baked in.

Nobara is like 3 or 4 tweaks, not endless hours and is already gaming ready by default...
