I just like the stability and ease of it. With Arch, it's always been a case of constantly tinkering and tweaking, but with Nobara, it's like it is already at the end goal of my Arch setup - a GNOME environment with a custom gaming optimized kernel, Proton, Lutris, Steam, proprietary video codecs, drivers etc all ready to go. So it's something that I can easily recommend to fellow gamers, or people who just want a good multimedia-capable distro without needing to do any tweaks.
The other thing I like about Fedora/Nobara is the dnf package manager, I like how it logs all transactions, so you can roll back your package state to a particular point in time. So, say I installed a hundred different packages with a thousand dependencies, I could perfectly roll it all back to before I did any of that stuff. I mean, sure I could also use a btrfs snapshot for this, but it's still cool regardless to have this functionality built into the package manager to easily revert stuff. The new version of dnf is also pretty fast, which resolved the only complaint I had with it. So, overall I'm quite happy with this setup.
Thank you! that is a cool feature for a package manager to have! Since I learn best by breaking things, being able to roll back a package sounds useful! I'll try it out! I have plenty of disk space at the time (I dont game on my pc, am console couch potato)
