For a GNOME modified experience there is the Nobara Official Project based on Fedora Workstation. This could be an option out of the box I guess for a more “user friendly” Gnome.

Last time i checked Nobara disabled secure boot. If you want a similar layout you could just use some extensions.

[image] qwq: Nobara disabled secure boot I think still the same. I don’t mind the secure boot disabled and find an interesting project for those that have trouble tweaking Fedora for their likes as an option of pointing to Ubuntu. Nevertheless, is a good heads up.

I’d caution the use of Nobara. It is an ok Linux distro for newcomers. Its a great distro for gaming with a lot built-in quality of life features for gaming. Its not a good distro for privacy and security: SecureBoot disabled (for Nvidia GPU users) SE Linux is replaced by AppArmor Discord sandb…

As for the first point. Nvidia has always been a mess and even with “normal” distros you still need to enroll your own key. So I don’t think it’s really a con

IMO the main downside to Nobara is it gets slower updates than Fedora, now that it snapshots Fedora instead of pulling directly from their repos. My concern is delayed access to security updates. For example, my Nobara machine only today got the bluez and qemu updates Fedora shipped a few days ago t…

There is little reason to use offshoots on desktop imo. If you want Fedora use Fedora, if you want Arch use Arch, etc.

I would argue there’s still a benefit even if it’s a self-signed key after you install the Nvidia driver, since you’re still getting enforcement against any other new kernel components getting added without your knowledge. The creator of Nobara does awesome work, I just couldn’t see basing the enti…

Not necessarily, off-shoot Ubuntu is fine

@anon39565454 ah, yea spins of Fedora or Ubuntu are almost always kept in sync and are fine

Secure Boot does not even come supported out of the box in Qubes.

" Is Secure Boot supported?

UEFI Secure Boot is not supported out of the box as UEFI support in Xen is very basic. Arguably secure boot reliance on UEFI integrity is not the best design. The relevant binaries (shim.efi, xen.efi, kernel / initramfs) are not signed by the Qubes Team and secure boot has not been tested."
