I have gained new appreciation for the gaming optimization in this distro
Im on a full AMD system. I started at bazzite, but it was too restrictive for my needs, so I switched to Nobara. I had many smooth weeks of use before I decided I wanted to try a less curated distro, and went for Fedora. The system was fine, but after installing steam and gamescope and the others, I couldn't get solid frames or HDR without digging deeper than I felt like doing. So I tried Pop!OS because it seemed like a reasonable middle ground between Nobara and pure Fedora and had the same experience (but loved the ui despite copy-paste bugs). When I came back to Nobara I paid attention to what the updater program was doing - not just updating and installing packages but fixing known conflicts and solving experience degrading quirks. Now Im back to buttery frames that beat windows easy, so I just wanted to voice my appreciation for the effort the contributors put into it. Its easy to take for granted
