This is an update to https://hexbear.net/post/281447.

So this past Christmas, I finally got all of the parts together and put together my new Team Red PC.

It’s beautiful! All black parts (I don’t like unicron vomit). I went with a Ryzen 5600X instead of the 5800X3D (cheaper) and got that RX 6700 XT. I’m rocking 16 GB of DDR4 3200 RAM.

For the OS, I’m running a variant of Fedora called Nobara, made by Glorious Eggroll. It’s made for Linux gaming because I am a filthy freeze-gamer . The default DE is KDE Plasma.

I ran Phoronix Test Suite and used the Unigen Valley benchmark. I consistently got over 248 fps at 1080p 60 Hz. Can’t go any higher until I swap out my monitor (aka my TV).

Anyways, Cheers y’all! (Pardon the mess. Output from Neofetch. Edited of course.) (EDIT: Edited for grammar and readability.)

    Sure. It’s been about 3 weeks so I can kinda give you a preliminary report.

    The TL;DR - Nobara just fucking works. Especially for gaming.

    I started out with the GNOME build of Nobara 38. It was smooth and buttery but I didn’t like the interface. What it does for task switching left me a bit miffed as I had to superkey-tab through a lot of open windows. Right before Christmas, GE released Nobara 39 with KDE Plasama as the official default version. So I took it upon myself to switch and it has been perfect! Anything I thought I’d miss by not having Windows has been addressed. I don’t do much productivity work, mostly play games and web surf. No need for a Windows license for that.

    I don’t play CS, CoD, Fornite, games like that which use Easy AntiCheat, so no need for Windows there either (although I know CS is one of those games that’s a Linux port). And knowing that EAC works in Linux (via Proton), if I want to try games with EAC, then I can.

    So for now, it has been so far, so very good.
