Fedora is "the gaming" distro and perfect for Linux beginner confirmed (at least for me) (lemmy.ca)

why? because it's not triggering an obscure anti cheat on a game I've been playing when using wine (performance is still the same tho), everything else is just work no missing dependencies and it's doesn't get in my way like other distros (I tried Arch, Opensuse, Ubuntu, Debian), just to clarify I'm a complete noob when it come to Linux so maybe if I know better I probably make everything works just like Fedora

I have a Nvidia gpu and I did run into issues on Fedora with drivers and cutscenes, switching from Gnome to KDE and wayland to X11 fixed some problems, but I fidn't manage to get it to work properly and have given up in a few weeks.

However, I switched to Nobara which is based on Fedora and handles the gaming related configuration for you, and so far O've had a great experience without any issues for half a year already, so if gaming is what you're primarily after, I'd recommend going with Nobara.

    For Nobara, which would you say it's the best (DE + X11/Wayland) setup for an Nvidia GPU?

    I preffer KDE and use x11. Wayland is getting better with nvidia, but I still had some bugs with taskbar freezing often when I first tried it, so I just switched to X11. I haven't tested it recently though, so it may be OK now.
