im using fedora and its nice, but i installed bazzite on a mates laptop recently, and when it comes to nvidia, and especially hybrid graphics (laptops with nvidia gpus), it’s so much easier to use bazzite with their preconfigured nvidia stuff than anything else. so, bazzite is really nice to use and based on fedora, but for my main machine i’ll probably stick to fedora for now.
Fedora is fine for gaming. The biggest issue I had with it was that if i had an issue with it, I had to do a web search for fedora + issue and I got a lot of unrelated hits for hats.
That said, gloriouseggroll made their own Fedora based gaming distro called Nobara. However I don’t know if they would have based their distro off of fedora if they didn’t work for Redhat.
Personally, I prefer rolling releases which is why I no longer use Fedora.
I’m on Fedora and I always use the flatpak version of steam, which is listed as 4th. If you redistributed the flatpaks to the actual distro, I wouldn’t be surprised if Fedora was in the top 10. Probably above CachyOS. Fedora encompasses all the immutable child distros like Silverblue, Kiniote, and Bazzite.
People are still choosing Ubuntu too much which feels annoying to me considering how much better the alternatives are, including mint which is second highest.
I guess more likely Fedora being an RPM distro with its own set of system standards keeps people from switching.
I would think Bazzite and Nobara would have boosted the usage, but I guess not as much as I think.
Fedora did not break the top 10. Is it not good for gaming? Genuinely curious as I was thinking of hopping to Fedora.
I’m on Fedora and it’s great. I think I had a GNOME-related performance issue the other day, so I’m trying Plasma KDE
