Im almost done with my new build which will feature a 3900x + 6700xt & 64gb ram

i was going to load with pop os 22.04 lts till i checked back on

the Nobara Linux project an saw all the latest spec an features especially this
an this an a whole lot out of the box newer tweaks then when i first looked

a few things id like to know before choosing are

  1. how much ram does nobara chew for base os an at idle an does it have a swap file an can it be disabled like pop os

  2. does NOBARA have full disk encryption like pop

  3. aside from lutris an proton preinstall can i add the bottles app an does it work better on nobara vs pop

  4. will tuxclocker still install an work for control of amd gpu core,memory,volt an fan controls

  5. i still game about 50% of the time while the other half i do image editing an design work in krita will it run on
    nobara the same as pop or better

  6. i normally add nala an a xanmod custom kernel along with corectrl to my pop os will doing the same in NOBARA cause an
    negative issues

Nobara is really cool, and off to a very promising start, but pop is still more noob friendly especially with gaming… i think.

Pop lets you install ateam natively or as a flatpack too. I maybe like not a flatpack better but flatpack is probably more noob frienfly possibly.
