I've never used it, but the premise seems good. Fedora/RHEL/Rocky are solid platforms, but they definitely leave a lot to be desired from a desktop standpoint.

Shit, just linux.
Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts

What do you think is missing from a desktop standpoint? I haven’t used RHEL or Rocky yet so I’m not really sure how they are for a regular user.
They're geared towards server applications so you don't get the latest packages. Instead you get lots of backported security patches. They're very stable, but it comes at the cost of not having lots of niche packages in the main repos. At least, that's been my experience.
Yea I use nobara. Its quite a nice, easy to use distro.
What's the advantages of Nobara over Fedora? I know it's made by the glorious eggroll guy, but other than having proprietary-package repositories enabled by default, I couldn't find any mentions of notable differences.
It has many under-the-hood patches that Fedora doesn't have. It has a patched version of the kernel and glibc as well as enhanced support for gaming hardware out-of-the-box. Each of the modifications is listed on the main page of the project.
Solid Hyperland builds available on copr:

I just got here. What’s up?
Fedora :D
I use Nobara on my main PC right now, but I’m playing with Arch on my testing laptop since I really want to get Hyprland to be beautiful by my own making.
