Originally posted by ms178 View PostI've tested the April 27th ISO from the Fedora gaming spin (Nubara Project) last weekend. But the out-of-the-box gaming performance didn't impress me at all, tested with the in-game-benchmark of Company of Heroes 2. Even though it was an improvement over an older Rawhide release (20 fps > 33 fps), it is still noticeably slower than other distributions at stock on my hardware (around 40 - 45 fps on Tumbleweed and Endeavour). The good news is that one can get a vastly improved experience by compiling a Xanmod Kernel (at least 85 fps - you can also get to this level quickly by using Kubuntu + Xanmod and Mesa PPA). Just for reference, with a performance optimized EndeavourOS, I get 101 fps and around 93-95 fps on Windows 10 and 11.

RPMFusion will be the least of your problems if you use rawhide.
Fedora isn't allowed to depend on any packages in RPMFusion so you shouldn't get any issues, I myself have never got into any issues with RPMFusion and I've been using Fedora for a decade now.
I agree RPMFusion should be easier to enable, but blame legal issues for that (RH/IBM is a big target)

Fedora is the only mainstream distro to be using SELinux, and afaik that has some overhead that would affect game performance. There's Nobara for a gaming-optimized version of Fedora that disables SELinux: https://nobaraproject.org/
SELinux is the main reason I use Fedora though, and without that, I'd probably be using openSUSE TW or Ubuntu.
setenforce 0
You can also edit the config file in /etc/selinux to permanently dissable it if you want

There has been a lot of changes over many releases now. This one covers some. Fedora 34 predates this change. Also Flathub is going to be enabled by default without any filters and that should bring in easier access for a variety of third party components. Pretty much every release includes some sort of change in this space.- Detect an Nvidia GPU at first login after install.
- Automatically prompt the user with a choice to enable whatever quasi-official affiliated repo has the drivers they need for basic hardware to work. They can throw up whatever "closed source is evil blah blah" messaging they want as part of this prompt.
- Automatically prompt the user with a choice to install the correct Nvidia driver based on what GPU they have.

The improvements are great and appreciated, but I think all distros can and should do better, especially the big corporate backed ones. I'm not asking them to ship proprietary stuff in the installer images. But as an example, it would be trivial for them all to..

This is far from trivial. Secure boot is enabled by default in Fedora for example and having Nvidia drivers work in this setup requires some details to be sorted out. That isn't the only outstanding issue here either.
