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 )
