nobara is king... it never disapoint! i run it after 20+ years of Windows and i am a gamer and never looked back! It converted me! :)
How do you go about configuring your gaming peripherals? I honestly would love to know. This is the one thing keeping me from making the move to Nobara from Windows 100%. I'd LOVE to completely ditch Windows once and for all.
@@CoderSal-XIII If your talking about mouse and keyboard and headset etc.. they work out of the box.. (drivers are baked in) for my razor mouse tweaks there is openrazo. rgb there is openrgb.. very easy installed from the website or the build in store app. hope it helps out :)
@@CoderSal-XIII linux is linux you get different versions but its the best os you can get. windows is shit out of the box. sorry im a linux user i hate windows just because im a junior pen tester and windows nah!!! if you use windows for gaming then stay with windows if your pc can handle it if your into designing stuff and don't care about security but if you care about security want to learn linux and play games not always working fixing stuff to make it right then linux can take you far in life. and most hacked platform is windows not so much linux and it is not that easy to hack someone in linux he can have a lot of users. wile windows has so many options. windows 11 big no for me with their free picture takes every few seconds ya it's called new ai recall and it's fantastic all your data goes to microsoft nice to know your banking details huh!!! or what else you looking at. no no for me.
@@CoderSal-XIII I use nobara and haven't had an issues using controllers. no set up needed on my end so far.
Been using Nobara for around a year and I'm still loving it. Just gotta run the Nobara updater every weekend and that's it.
is it for game dev ? and graphic designers ?
@@ElbahethAmrSrour it can do that no problem, but depends what program you use
As a lazy noob, I've used endeavourOS and GarudaOS, now I'm on Nobara. So far I've had the least issues with Nobara, but the other distros were only slightly worse in that regard. Everything worked out of the box so far with AMD hardware.
There's always ways to improve the experience with arch based stuff. Stay off Garuda though
@@user-in2cs1vp6o Garuda is total trash
@@vvvvvvvvvvv631 agreed
I am a Linux noob that changed a week ago. I tried using Nobara as my first distro because it looks a lot like windows and different youtubers said its the best for gaming but my experience was totally horrible. I kept having graphical glitches on the desktop environment and maybe it was because it was my first time ever installing linux i found it quite hard following the guides that i found and did not understand anything. I moved on to Linux Mint following your guide and ive been able to set everything up that I need and my experience on mint has been way better and less frustrating from a complete noob perspective. I might eventually go back to nobara because i really liked the theme and UI but for now Linux Mint is working fine and im enjoying myself.
Edit: I also had issues with my mic+audio interface setup. pipewire really confused me at first but i figured it out eventually. I also have very recent hardware and thats probably a cause of my issues which i didn't know at the time.
Do not use Wayland, but rather go to CachyOS you will be impress, particularly in gaming. Developers of CachyOS probably so much hate Microsoft that they want prove that Linux is fastest in gaming then Win10 an Win11, in some new titles as like Sons of the Forest or Starfield, there is no differences between Windows and CachyOS, good luck.
If you liked mint and find it able to do whatever you need, you can change it's theme to something may suit your taste, the Cinnamon desktop (Mint's desktop) is customizable, and you can change everything from the menu to the taskbar, to the windows icons, you can search in youtube and see for yourself
I'm also a noob btw
Do you use a Nvidia card? If you are, how new is it? I have a RTX 4070 Super and the Wayland display server glitches to much with my card in Plasma 5 and 6. So I mostly use the X11 display server until ut gets better. I'm on OpenSuse Tumbleweed, I got both display servers and a few window managers installed. But I think some problems will be tje same no matter what distro.
@@tuulikk9193 GTX 1080, Nobara, Plasma 6, Wayland, absolutely no issues for me
welcome aboard :) I also started with Mint and it is a better one for learning how to use Linux. Also, you picked a bit of a rough time to come to these distros that use more bleeding edge software (like fedora and nobara). That is because the Wayland has just been implemented, it's a new and cool display controller, but that is still having a lot of issues with, well, a lot of thing - these are probably the graphical glitches you mentioned. These things will be worked over time and soon you will also know a bit more so do give it a go later if you're still curious, though Mint is also a perfect place to stay for the long run ;)
Used Nobara KDE for almost a year now, the only issue I encounter is UI glitching with Wayland & Nvidia (I have 2060), fixed by switching to X11 on login. Everything else works straight out of box.
Les français qui ont remarqué l’accent français 🖐️
Yes 🤣🤣🤣
I spent a month trying Mint, Nobara, Kubuntu, LMDE, Ubuntu.
A lot of progress has been made but still many problems in games and what annoyed me the most is very problematic when it comes to OBS and streaming.
On one distro, the sound does not work, the second has graphical errors, and the third does not work hotkeys, on the fourth one there is no h 265 codec.
OBS use more then 3% of CPU just in idle mod /Widows 11 use only 0.1% while streaming.
This has been my experience every single time I try switching to Linux. I've tried 10+ distros and there's always driver issues or other errors with the software.
Great video! I've never used linux, but really wanting to move away from windows. Getting really sick of Windows going downhill in quality and pumping the OS full of stupid shit running in the background and bloatware stuff in the OS. I've been eyeballing Garuda and Nobara (and possibly Mint) recently. I really like the way you describe things and with such honesty. Between Garuda and Nobara, which do you like more? Or is it one of those situations where you can't really go wrong with either? Both seem really cool to learn and use! I have a laptop that I could use to experiment around with Linux, but I wanted to ask your opinion with both of those distros. I mostly do gaming, music listening (i'm an audiophile), and a bit of content creation with using stuff like photoshop and sony vegas. Linux to me has been getting more and more enticing for me over the years with how much better support Linux is getting and how worse Windows is getting.
Used Nobara for my first year on Linux and my experience has been... inconsistent.
Games worked without much tinkering, but minor issues kept popping up whenever I tried to do something new (be it video editing, customizing, whatever) until I eventually ended up reinstalling entirely with the KDE version of Nobara instead, but had an even worse time with the aforementioned issues.
I've since switched to Pop OS with Gnome. 2 months in and I've had a far smoother experience here; it just seems much more polished and quality controlled, and the higher amount of documentation helps. I'd recommend this over Nobara for new users tbh.
Nice video, I'll probably try it on a new machine
Really good review, thank you!
I Like flatpaks and the simplifications it offers, but often the Software works Not great If installed via flatpaks. Printers Not found, Sound or Video Not working or even drag and drop issues. Things get better but for now native packets are just more reliable.
Recently moved over to Nobara, and yea definitely not a fan of the package manager. Ran into an issue where the older 0.9 version of goverlay just magically disappeared in RPMfusion when I was trying to downgrade since vkbasalt was removed from its gui in the latest version. Thankfully my vkbasalt config still works since global enable was already set up prior to Nobara updating goverlay to 1.0. Aside from that and a few other niche annoyances, its rock solid. I'll prob end up going back to Garuda Gnome though just for Arch's AUR and pacman.
I've used it on my PC with AMD CPU and nvidia 4080 and also on my AMD laptop for a 6 months or so, I've always faced issues here and there I didn't like at all, especially with the new games. Once I've switched to Arch everything is much better.
Nice overview of the new Regata OS.
But how does it handle old Nvidia-Intel Optimus laptops like 6tth gen for example? Does it also ship Prime switch technology for GPU switch?
It is Nobara not Regata. You feeling OK? xD
@A1RM4X - thank you for the great content once again, just swap out Garuda (Gnome) for Nobara, it's a great pick I think. Also bro, any clue / advice to deactivate compositor on Nobara or nothing to do / automatic? I remember this was affecting performance but can find any option to deactivate. Thanks a lot!
Hey! If you are using Wayland you can´t deactivate the compositor. On X11 with KDE, you can activate / deactivate the compositor with "Alt + Shift + F12".
nobara has started forgetting my sound choice i use it on 2 pc's and it happens on both
I mean once you make changes to dnf "fastestmirror, max_parallel_downloads, keepcache, defaultyes" I would say its on par with pacman speed as someone who is running nobara, arch, and tumbleweed at the same time
I haven't tried Nobara yet, but on Fedora, you can also speed things up by just using dnf5 instead of the regular dnf which is version 3. Shouldn't that also work on Nobara?
@@roerd To my knowledge the release/updates to Nobara 39 it is leveraging DNF5 out of the box. Pretty sure Fedora 40 is postponing DNF5 out of box still
Thank you, good vidéo.
I tried Nobara yesterday again and my experience was almost perfect.
My only Problem is that i have bad flickering on my Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU sometimes under Wayland and X11 just feels not as good for me.
But the moment Wayland Works on Nvidia Without flickering i will Switch to Nobara, i really like the Look and feel (especially with the now KDE Plasma 6) and it runs so Smooth, and everything that was important for me was allready setup.
Curious which nvidia driver are you using with the 4060? also GE is pretty active in his discord if you have more complex questions/want to drop logs on whats going wrong
When will we get the "set it and forget it Gaming OS"? Once that hurdle is overcome Linux will take gamers and thus the next generation into the mainstream. I've used manjaro which was unstable. Used PopOS and that too crashed. Nobara 38 was such a joy to use. Now we head into KDE and its nice!
im using pop os right now its perfect for steam games and office works
I tried Nobara around 7-8 months ago, it was really nice, but I haven't really liked the GUI environment… It really felt like a downgrade from Mint for me (I used the "Official" version)
but for past like 2 weeks I heard that KDE Plasma version is actually pretty decent - any recommendation on that or stay with the "Official" one?
The current 'Official' version uses KDE as of December of last year.
KDE version seems to work pretty nice. I thought I would miss GNOME, but naah. Not really.
Does AV1 work in OBS for 7000 series GPUs? Not a big deal. I'm just wondering.
its just great
Nice review, thank you! Btw, your mic has to much bass wasnt like that before
Thanks! I did not change any of my mic settings though...
What I dont really get is, I use the same CPU as you. Ryzen 9 5950X but under Garuda, neofetch shows that my CPU has 5.08GHz, yet yours only shows 3.400GHz which mine does on every other distro as well. So is Garudo Overclocking my CPU or does it show the Turbofrequency ?
Most likely a difference in power management/scheduler settings. Some settings dont allow a cpu to downclock (or you've got something running that is keeping it ramped).
@@pcallycat9043Garuda offered this Linux ZEN - Zen 3 Kernel, dont know if it has something to do with this. Because it said, it was specialized for Zen3 CPUs.
@@famousgamer7130 could be, though where it’s Garuda, I’d expect they have the high performance power profile enabled (which basically makes the processor cycle up if someone even looks at a screen)
I tried Nobara and it doesn't work well with the Steam Witcher Wild hunt. Tried Linuxmint and it works well there. I had high hopes with nobara, it's a bit buggy
So, I guess unless something even better jumps out of the bushes, EndeavorOS It is!
Thx
No problem
need to pit it with garuda and cachy
Yes, I totally agree Mon Frere!!
What about ChimeraOS?
Can't review it because it only supports AMD / Intel GPUs :^
@@A1RM4X oh
Besides the point, but what accent is that??

Oh no, a French croissant. 🤣
they should have called it NoobAra

@@A1RM4X oh
Linux is not for gaming. Maybe it would be in the future but now not. It's pain in the ass now.
That is why it should be tested thouroughly now. To be able to be a great option in the future.
Works for me, I could never see myself going back to Windows.
Enjoy you high disk usage. Only games with kernel level anticheat don’t work.
@@cuysaurus enjoy ur half assed fps performance
I rather deal with high usage ram than a crappy fps
Many games run better on linux these days. And rest run just as well as they run on windows.. There aint much games anymore that wont work and even those can be fixed by devs by updating their anticheat and ticking a damn box to allow linux. Some already have. How is this possible? Because of our lord and savior gabe newell!
So stop being windows fanboy. I use windows on my pc (for now) but steamdeck has been in use much more than my desktop so i gues it is time to hop back to linux on desktop aswell.
