I use a Windows and Arch dualboot, but I’m looking to escape Microsoft. I’ve heard good things about both Fedora and Pop!_OS. I’m your average Arch user; I play video games and code. Are Windows VMs suitable for games like Call of Duty on such distros ?

    My understanding is Nobara is made by GloriousEggroll, which is why it’s so good for gaming. It worked really well for me except for the fact that some games didn’t like the hybrid Nvidia graphics on my laptop. I ended up swapping to Pop because of that, and everything works like a charm. I’d rather be on Nobara tho. I really don’t like Pop’s desktop environment.

      I have an older gaming laptop with integrated graphics and a 1050 GPU, haven’t had any issues.

      I love Nobara, it just worked right from the jump. Website has the hash right on the page, .iso already set to go, just create a bootable, plug it in and install.

      You can probably install a different desktop environment for pop, usually it’s just a command and then there’s a menu in the corner of your login page where you can change the desktop environment.

        Yeah, I know it’s possible, but I’m not a linux expert and I’d rather leave well enough alone. It works and it’s not Windows and that’s good enough for me!

          Of course, whatever works best for you. I guess when you get annoyed enough just know switching desktops not as complicated as it might initially seem lol.
