Features
Nobara Linux aims to provide users which are less technologically savvy with commonly used packages, due to the original Fedora Linux having "3rd party or proprietary packages is usually absent from a fresh install."[11] as stated on the official website. Claiming that most "point and click user," users which rely heavily on GUI installation processes and activities, may struggle with such tasks. Along with packages which are commonly used by gamers, or gaming related activities, that are not installed by default. As mentioned on the official Nobara website, "WINE dependencies, obs-studio, 3rd party codec packages such as those for gstreamer, 3rd party drivers such as NVIDIA drivers, and even small package fixes", along with other features are not explicitly mentioned but designed to improve the user experience primarily for gamers.[12]
Installation

As per the website, it is recommended to use the Balena Etcher software to create a bootable USB device. The Linux distribution is offered in three desktop environments; Official (modified KDE), GNOME, and KDE.
