Opening the phone to other app stores is just the first step. The second is letting the user choose an app store when they first start their phone similarly to how they already enforce browser choice.
I've installed fedora thrice last year, and each time, I've had to enable rpm fusion in the terminal and download ffmpeg to get youtube to work. This is something that can't be fixed afaik, because it's a copyright issue.
It's one of those changes that will happen sooner or later, bazzite and steam need to figure out a solution because fedora, and other modern distros can't and won't keep dragging around 32 bit libraries forever.
Fedora doesn't enable non free repositories by default, and that's a big deal for new users. Telling someone they need to run commands in the terminal to get their nvidia drivers, or even get youtube working is a problem.
Even if it's out of beta for 26.04, you'll probably want to wait a few releases before giving it a go. It's bound to be quite unstable for a few years.
People always underestimate the work that goes into making sure stuff works. These packages need to be built so they add a lot of compile time to the pipeline, these packages have limitations inherent to 32 bits so they also add troubleshooting and bugs. This is time and resources that could be spent elsewhere.
So there you have it, you either stop playing all multiplayer games (not even just competitive ones!) entirely
There's plenty of multiplayer games that run just fine on linux. Including FPS games with perfectly functional anti cheat, it's just a select few which are unfortunately very popular that actively block linux. This is the part where you put your money where your mouth is and support the games that support the system you want to game on.
Yeah i was gonna mention xcom initially but i doubt stuff like party deaths will be a thing here. This game looks like it's gonna feature full on companions, and the controls look pretty much exactly like bg3.
I always wonder about the people who drop off just before finishing the game.
They probably don't want the game to end, there's a certain finality that comes with an ending. I've had this happen to me for a few games and books but i usually power through.
sometimes reviewers only play the first few parts.
Not just the reviewers unfortunately, games shed players at every step, it's why most games are front-loaded and fall off the further you get into them.
Well Arch is great at what it does: getting you the latest packages of everything without needing to upgrade every 6 months or whatever; that does come at the cost of a bit less stability. There's EndeavourOS if you're uncomfortable installing from the console.
The main issue with nobara is that it's handled by a single person. Almost everything you get on nobara you can get with a few commands on the terminal in fedora; and whatever patches they have under the hood will at best get a marginal performance boost and at worst cause major crashes and issues.
Nobara is a solid choice for people that don't like to tweak their system too much because it comes with everything you need to play games from the get-go. If you're more of a power user there's very little reason to pick it over fedora or arch.
Any regular desktop distribution is fine (fedora, mint...), if you have new hardware you'll want a recent kernel. Nvidia gpus can be problematic. You can always try the distro before installing.
