  • I don’t mind answering.

    It’s mostly games that I have paid for on Steam. So I have Cyberpunk 2077, Disco Elysium, ESO, & Guild Wars 2 installed (I installed the Steam version of GW2, but I learned a trick to use the GW2 launcher so that I could use my ANet account).

    I have a few others but I’m trying to focus on those games for now, as I’m really slow at getting through games, storyline-wise.

    Damn you, Steam Sales!



  • 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.
