    These are all Debian based. Debian is notorious for using old kernels and spotty hardware support. I had similar issues trying to install Ubuntu on a new-ish PC recently. Fedora worked like a charm though.

    I was tempted to try Nobara since it was a gaming pc but I was discouraged by opinions from the community telling me it was not exactly the best idea.

    Next time I might go for Bluefin though. It’s based on Fedora Silverblue (immutable OS) and I’ve heard great things about it. Apparently also has GPU drivers for NVIDIA baked-in, which I need.

      I’ve personally not really used Nobara…But, I installed it into what is my kids gaming laptop. It’s an older Dell, Nvidia 2xxx GPU. And it’s been working great around the board, we have 9 kids, covering all and groups, who end up using this and other laptops, but I’ve had no complaints and issues brought to me at all yet, close to a year into this on that laptop. So from that perspective I’d recommend it.
