I have a flatmate who is making the switch from windows 10 to linux and I Fedora is a distro that I trust to provide a good stable experience. I however use Nobara which comes with all the gaming related tweaks already done. I dont want to recomend Nobara because its package management is intuitive.
The changes i think I need to make is, remove fedora flatpak store. Enable non free software repo. Install proprietary nvidia driver. Install steam, wine, lutris, heroic store.
Is there anything that is required for a smooth Fedora gaming experience?
Why remove flatpak?
If your flatmate is new to Linux, it will probably be helpful.
If he is using the gnome de, then install whatever extensions you need to give the windows a minimized button, or point him towards the plasma spin.
Specifically, it is Fedora Flatpaks, as there have been several problems with Fedora Flatpaks being broken where the official Flatpaks are not.
Ohh, gotcha. Yeah. Just enable flathub for him. It’s super simple, but I’m sure you know that.
