    I was considering Linux mint, since its something new, but still on a familiar debian base and and familiarity with things like ppas which make getting software easier than compiling it.

    but I’ll read up more on Nobara. Just concerned that I’ll be back to day 1 know nothing switching bases.

      It’s not that bad, really. Nobara is Fedora based, and has access to their large package base. Nobara’s custom update tools are also excellent.

      Fedora doesn’t have PPAs, but it does have COPR, which is kinda like halfway between PPAs and Arch’s AUR. Lots of packages. I hardly ever compile anything from source these days.

        Okay okay, stop twisting my arm! :p

        I’ll back up my files and switch to Nobara as soon as I beat the game I’m playing, since I dont want to risk having that get borked again
