A little warning for those who wants the closest experience to the steam Deck on a PC with HoloIso: The Distro always boot in the console gaming mode, every time. Furthermore, the Distro is made specifically for AMD GPUs so there's no Nvdia or Intel GPU drivers pre installed.
I tried Nobara, wasn't good, had issues with wayland-x bridge that had me just play on x11 all the time. If I was doing it again, or recommending? Just go with fedora-kde, no issues since fedora 40 with plasma 6 landed, and I even play all the time on wayland.
I've used Nobara until last month, but an update on Plasma broke the system so a went to Chimera OS, running flawless on my interposer i5-12500H + RX 6600. Holo ISO is experimental. Bazzite behave is confusing. I've been working with Linux for 20 years and I know how much the system has evolved for games. Today in 2024, I only have reasons to use Windows in games with anticheat. BTW i have Steam Deck too. Great fame console/computer.
Have used Garuda distro for a several months, but had to go back to Windows - gaming was good on Linux - loved it, modded gaming was not! Without Mod Organizer 2, or an equivalent mod manager, on Linux playing heavily modded Skyrim, Fallout or Starfield was impossible - at least for me.
do you just mean automatic mod organizers dont work? or you mean you cant even do it manually? i mean im still modding everything manually on windows os it wont be a problem on linux this way?
If I also wanted to use an OS like this as a file server and backup server (say Immich for photo backup and maybe OMV or TrueNAS for file backup), would it work well? I'm assuming I'd have to virtualize openmediavault or something.

@@Satan-Claus Because of stability! I'm really appreciate to GloriousEggroll work in ProtonGE, but his OS is totally garbage - too many unneeded packages, unstable BTRFS (I've tested that and after first installation it just "go away" without reason after install of NVidia driver o.O), not so stable updates, even kernel is not "a performance booster". So I don't see any reason to install Nobara - it will be better to install Fedora and "everything" that you really need for gaming. I understand that "not everyone should know how to install X or Y or Z" but come on, we are in 21st century... and very good docs of Fedora and ArchWiki, which is good place to get some details. ;)

He stated twice, at the beginning and again at the end; you can do all this yourself. These distro’s are great for Linux noobs that won’t leave windows because they want gaming.
So in short Linux is as good for gaming in 2024 as it was in 1999! Pitiful! Now that MS owns most of the game devs. it's a total wrap on Linux gaming and desktop use.
@@Nodestradamus LOL you're delusional. Fortnight is garbage for one thing, and its not really the game people with Decks are flocking to play. Maybe you should do a little research on the Deck, what games are being played on Steam and how much growth to Linux the Deck has brought to the table.

very useful information. But from my experience, use these cachyos-rc kernel, gamemode and vkbasalt if you effect the gaming performance.

Been using Nobara for a few weeks now. God it's good.
What gpu are you using?
really need a new version of popos, the kernel is so old i can´t run my 7900xt

If based off of RedHat; as a user, in your opinion, how is it different from Fedora?
What about modding like GTA5, is it possible or easy?
Possible via Wine. I can't guarantee you how stable it will be.

use windows update blocker to get best user experience and compatibility with least effort
