I have a flatmate who is making the switch from windows 10 to linux and I Fedora is a distro that I trust to provide a good stable experience. I however use Nobara which comes with all the gaming related tweaks already done. I dont want to recomend Nobara because its package management is intuitive.

The changes i think I need to make is, remove fedora flatpak store. Enable non free software repo. Install proprietary nvidia driver. Install steam, wine, lutris, heroic store.

Is there anything that is required for a smooth Fedora gaming experience?

I just use Bazzite because it’s Fedora with all the gaming tweaks preinstalled (including NVIDIA drivers and displaylink drivers for docks). Best part is it’s immutable so you can’t mess it up irreparably by deleting something or putting some random commands into terminal. This doesn’t quite answer your question but since you mentioned this is for a roommate who is switching from w10, I figured I’d chime in with my usual shilling.

Can I still install fedora repo packages? Using dnf?

[–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No you will need to use rpm-ostree and ujust for console commands

Can I do like rpm-ostree install firefox and have firefox install? I dont mind if the command is different i just want to make sure system packages can still be installed

Maybe but I just download the flatpak from the discover store. I’d check the documentation or their website
