Nobara 36 2022-08-07
The Nobara Project, to put it simply, is a modified version of Fedora Linux with user-friendly fixes added to it. Fedora is a very good workstation OS, however, anything involving any kind of 3rd party or proprietary packages is usually absent from a fresh install. A typical point and click user can often struggle with how to get a lot of things working beyond the basic browser and office documents that come with the OS without having to take extra time to search documentation. Some of the important things that are missing from Fedora, especially with regards to gaming include 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 here and there.
This project aims to fix most of those issues and offer a better gaming, streaming, and content creation experience out of the box. More importantly, we want to be more point and click friendly, and avoid the basic user from having to open the terminal. It’s not that the terminal and/or terminal usage are a bad thing by any means, power users are more than welcome to continue with using the terminal, but for new users, point and click ease of use is usually expected.
It should be clarified that this distribution is -NOT- to be considered a ‘Fedora Spin’. We are a completely independent project from Fedora, and there are no Fedora developers or parties directly involved. We use Fedora packages, code, and repositories. That is the extent of it.
Change log:
Nobara Project Website
- fixed issue with dracut /sbin/sysctl no such file or directory being reported before live iso boot. gnome-boxes and nfs-utils have been removed from the official and gnome ISOs. gnome-boxes requires nfs-utils. nfs-utils was causing the dracut issue, so both have been removed from the isos. They can always be installed by the user afterwards.
- KDE ISO display corruption issue noted here has been resolved
- Issue with nobara repository gpg keys noted here resolved. keys are now packaged as part of the installation. Users shouldn’t get spammed to allow gpg keys upon first updates
- all ISOs will now automatically open the installer upon live boot
