This Fedora spin is perfect for one particular kind of new Linux user


With Windows 10 support ending, you might be looking for an alternative. If you like the idea of Fedora, but are afraid it isn't user-friendly enough, Nobara has your back.

Screenshot by Jack Wallen/ZDNETNobara also ships with several preinstalled apps, such as LibreOffice, Brave web browser, Lutris (for playing Windows games), Nobara Driver Manager (to simplify driver installation/updating), Nobara Package Manager (I believe this is a rebranding of KDE Discover), ProtonPlus (for gaming -- you do need to first run and set up Steam for this to work), Steam, Winetricks, and more. Screenshot by Jack Wallen/ZDNET If you asked me what type of user is best suited for Nobara, my initial reaction would be gamers, because so many of the modifications made are geared toward playing games. Nobara makes using different game launchers easy enough for anyone, and the modifications made to the system greatly improve the experience.
