Only version of fedora anyone should be using for games is Nobara. The simple fact is fedora may be rock solid, but it’s definitely not as intuitive for a new user to add things like the copr repo for additional software etc.

The COPR is the only other thing you have to do, at least that's all I did.

Click a checkbox to allow third party (COPR), install Steam, and install Bottles, all from the store UI. You're making it sound more difficult than it is.

And the problem with Nobara is it's created/developed by just one person who's doing it for his dad (per comments I've seen made by the developer) (I don't know if that's still the case). I rely on my OS, so I'm not willing to put myself into that situation of depending on just one person doing it as a hobby.

The thing I like about Fedora is it's (ultimately) backed by IBM, and it has more support for more hardware, fixes, etc.

Thanks. My being a gamer (Steam) has kept me from using another OS as I was worried about compatibility issues. I will check it out.
