With everything else I just reformatted my 2TB and 4TB drives to ext4 and should be good from there, thank you.
From what I understand it's mostly a fork of Fedora so I figured solutions that would apply to Fedora would apply to Nobara. Also my first time using Linux back in 2019 was on Ubuntu and I still have a bad taste for Ubuntu from that. I heard Nobara was recommended for gaming and that it had a Steam Deck mode. Which I wanted because I was planning on using my PC on my TV as well and ChimeraOS seemed too restrictive for my tastes.
So far it's going great, issues that I bumped into on Nobara seem largely the same any Linux user would have. Such as figuring out how to mount drives and ensure they auto-mount at the start of every session, how to properly format a drive for Linux. My problems have mostly been using other drives honestly, lol. Things that made me tear my hair out in 2019 like Bluetooth drivers and GPU installation just seem to work.
I disagreed with this but I had been having issues with Halo Infinite that no other distro seemed to have. So I swapped to PopOS and that solved it. The game used to crash every game but now I was able to go a whole hour non-stop. On top of that PopOS also can max out my monitor's refresh rate of 170hz as opposed to Nobara which crapped out above 144hz.
In other words, you were right and one shouldn't hop onto niche distros they hear about. I'm sorry.
