I have been daily driving a dual booted laptop for the past two years. After a year of distro hopping I settled with fedora + kde and never looked back. I really liked the auto nvidia driver config and it made everything so pleasant to work. Since the last 8 or 9 months I decided to do gaming using bottles and proton ge. I cannot afford to buy games and bottles is a God send at that. Now I realized that I had not logged into my windows partition in over 6 months. So I logged in to check and it told me it needs to download 8 gigs of updates. That sent me into rage and so clean installed everything to be fedora. I have 250 gb of storage locked in limbo because of windows( I have a 512 gb ssd so it was a lot) and today after everything was setup, the os took only around 20gb minus the games. Never felt happier.

I you like Fedora, you might want to look at Nobara. Super optimized for gaming and AV work.

I didn't know about no bara until today. Maybe I will check it out. But i am really comfortable in fedora now, so if something borks, I will check it.

Yep of course if your system works dont bother switching. Nobara is basically Fedora for gaming. It's developped by a Proton guy and follows Fedora update cycles with a few months delay.

I like what glorious eggroll is doing and would love to try it. But it's a no go for me since it has no selinux.
