I’ve been using Ubuntu as my daily driver for a good few years now. Unfortunately I don’t like the direction they seem to be heading.

I’ve also just ordered a new computer, so it seems like the best time to change over. While I’m sure it will start a heated debate, what variant would people recommend?

I’m not after a bleeding edge, do it all yourself OS it will be my daily driver, so don’t want to have to get elbow deep in configs every 5 minutes. My default would be to go back to Debian. However, I know the steam deck is arch based. With steam developing proton so hard, is it worth the additional learning curve to change to arch, or something else?

    Alrighty then: Now I have a reason to switch graphics cards and install Nobara on my other SSD. I bought a Radeon RX 7600 for this setup, because of AMD’s praised open-source drivers. My spare GPU is an RTX 3060, so I can actually test both worlds.

      Nah AMD works much better than nvidia, my statement was meant to be like “works even on nvidia” you should definetly stay AMD

        That’s what folks over here tell me, and you are most probably right. There is still one more issue scratching my head though: RayTracing performance on Cyberpunk 2077: It works great on high settings with stable 50 FPS minimum on my Windows 10 + Nvidia build, but it’s quite the opposite on this Nobara + AMD system. 5FPS and slowdowns are just unplayable. I expected the bad AMD performance being fixed by today. I think I should swap GPUs between both systems and test again.

          I am also getting like 20 fps less on linux than windows, I think its just how it is with cyberpunk. Testing can’t hurt
