it’s a swole doge vs cheems meme
on swole doge side, there are two popups: kCrash and Ubuntu apport. Both have options to see detailed logs and an optional button to send report to developers, along with options to close the popup.
accompanied is a text that reads “Here’s the information. What do you wish to do?”
on crying cheems side, there’s popup for windows and mac. windows has just a cancel button with report being sent already. mac has ignore and report button. there is no option to see logs without reporting on both. here, accompanied text reads, “let’s add this to the personally identifiable information we have on you.”

Yeah #Fedora is nontrivial when dealing with proprietary drivers. It doesn’t just work out of the box. Your best bet if you want to use Fedora and have an easier gaming experience is #Nobara.
I think OP(original commenter?) mentioned they tried Nobara, but it wouldn’t even boot.
My consistent recommendation to Linux newcomers is PopOS, it’s a simple, great distros that can be powerful when needed.
(I myself use Nix btw)
@dukk @zbecker I use arch btw. I would recommend Ubuntu for new users, as it was my first distro. But I don’t know whats Ubuntu’s current state.
I don’t tend to recommend Ubuntu anymore: mainly because of snaps.
I had a weird start with Linux, using it on my Pi and then eventually just installing NixOS as my first distro. A weird first choice, but honestly it makes even advanced tasks trivial(I can switch my WM/DE in one line!)
@dukk My first Linux experience was with Ubuntu, as my old laptop couldn’t handle Windows anymore. Then I also got a RPI but by that time I already bought a better PC and left Linux. After some years tinkering with the rpi I finally became confident enough to dual boot Kubuntu. Now I only have Linux on my computers ( arch in both pc and laptop )

I don’t recommend #Ubuntu. It’s not a bad distro, I just have never liked it. Usually I recommend mint, which tbf is downstream.
@dukk
Tbh I haven’t tried nobara, as I’ve only ever used upstream distros (debian, Arch, Gentoo, etc). It’s just that it’s what everyone recommends and I had never really heard any issues with it. My problem with Pop!_OS is that it’s basically not being updated until Ststem76 finishes cosmic. Granted it is probably getting security fixes.
I use nix these days too
