Oh I think I've found my answer, it was about SELinux being disabled. Now it says on their official website: "SELinux:

– We have replaced SELinux with AppArmor (AppArmor is used in Ubuntu and OpenSUSE) as we find it to be more user-friendly, less intrusive, and easier to write policies for. You will still see some SELinux packages as they are required to keep Fedora compatibility and not break package dependencies."

Yup. That's basically it. AppArmor isn't a slouch either, but SELinux works well and is well-tested on Fedora. It's a pity. I do think that SELinux > AppArmor, so if security is a serious concern of yours, then it's worth considering Bazzite over Nobara. If, however, security is a top priority of yours, you might even consider secureblue. It's not great for gaming though 😅. At some point, hardening clashes with performance gains...

Thank you, that's very helpful. I will have to think about it - it comes down to a question of convenience vs. "best" security possible.

It has been my pleasure!

it comes down to a question of convenience vs. “best” security possible.

I've solved this for myself by dedicating two different devices; one that's optimized for security, while the other is only used for gaming.
