The software maker will use the Recommended section of the Start menu, which usually shows file recommendations, to suggest apps from the Microsoft Store.

Just moved away from Windows 11 to Nobara. Enough is enough.

How's that fairing? I'll be switching once the last few games I care about get support, but as someone new to Linux with a NVIDIA card I'm feeling a little lost.

Lemmy likes to say Nobara is great for gaming but Mint is great for newcomers, and I really don't want to have to come home and tinker with my PC after work.

I did the install yesterday, I'll know in time. I'm not the most extreme gamer, I am not interested in competitive gaming or bleeding edge tech spec games. I think that's where you see the most backlash to Linux for gaming. I will definitely be chiming in with my experience here on Lemmy.
