Linux distribution
Nobara Project 40
Nate Drake delves into this modified Fedora distro. Is this the ultimate in Linux gaming or should you say “no Nobara”?
IN BRIEF
Nobara’s definitely tailored to gamers with high-end PCs. Pre-installed packages such as Wine and Steam make playing a breeze. It’s let down by minimal documentation and requiring heavy system resources.
SPECS
LXF suggests:
CPU: 2GHz
Mem: 4GB
HDD: 40GB
Builds: x86-64, ARMHF, AArch64
Creator Thomas Crider, aka GloriousEggroll, describes Nobara Project as “a modified version of Fedora Linux with user-friendly fixes”.
On the main website the former Red Hat software engineer goes on to explain that while Fedora Workstation is a respectable OS, it has little pre-installed third-party or proprietary software. This is a particular issue for gamers, which is why Nobara comes with packages like the Wine compatibility layer, third-party codecs for GStreamer and certain Nvidia drivers.
