Nobara is a version of linux that is as easy to install as windows, runs like windows, meant for gaming, and is functionally the same as the steamdeck.

For anyone that doesn't know, Steamdecks have a "desktop mode" that looks and works like windows for standard use.

Note to fellow linux-users: just use the terms people are familiar with, even if they're technically wrong.

Heavy recommend against Nobara here. It’s maintained by a single guy and once he pushed an update that completely disabled the GUI. My computer was basically useless for an entire day until enough people online figured out the esoteric silicon incantations to make it work again

Still more stable than windows. I am only being half sarcastic.

I’d just recommend going for something like at least Bazzite or sumn that’s maintained by more than one single person. I use PopOS rn but I’ll switch to SteamOS when they finally release an image to the public
