I’ve been through the same distro as you’ve mentioned in your post. With my own various issues. I switched to Bazzite a few months ago and could t be happier. It’s by far the easiest Linux distro I’ve used, everything is set to work out of the box and the system cannot be borked. Bazzite also a great community behind it and murliple talanted people pushing this to be the best optimized gaming distro.
While Nobara is great in its own ways, and GE being an absolute legend for his work. I personally don’t see any upsides to using it over Bazzite if you’re mainly going to be playing games.
Do yourself the favour and try this before trying Nobara, just my two cents.
