Oracle has been part of the Linux community for 25 years. Our goal has remained the same over all those years: help make Linux the best server operating system for everyone, freely available to all, with high-quality, low-cost support provided to those who need it.
I get the opinion - but it isn't always the distro owners... developers can upload their own versions to AUR if they want to. But it is a fair comment that even a keen developer is going to miss at least a few possible package formats.
Using Manjaro KDE here, as well. Granted, I mostly play Counter-Strike, Risk of Rain 2, Stellaris, and various indie games, but pretty much everything has been very smooth. Very glad to be free of Windows on my main machine, and it hasn't really affected how I use my PC day-to-day.
Nobara being an independent side project based on Fedora and not a full-blown distro on its own - YMMV on all kinds of issues.
That said I’m running Nobara KDE on my desktop and everything has been working great. You should give it a try just to see how many of your issues are specific to Nobara gnome.
I'm aware it is not an official project, but I don't think any of GE's changes should affect much of the issues I am facing with it. And seeing this I will have an even harder time to recommend any sort of Gnome distro towards complete newbies trying to make the switch. Imagine this being their first experience with a Linux ecosystem.
Tried KDE Nobara after OpenSUSE and oh boy...
First Dolphin just crashed, always. Trying to report this caused even the crash handler to crash. Apparently there's a bug with encrypted setups and you have to manually create the thumbnail folder to fix this. No idea why this is not patched yet. Or maybe it is, but I can't further update the system anymore because of all packages throwing GPG errors now. This is all cursed to hell.
Zorin OS Pro might be a good one here. At least you would have a tested suite.
Create with the same apps the pros use. Zorin OS Pro includes an advanced video editor, Photoshop-compatible image editor, illustration software, audio workstation, animation software, and the same 3D graphics & effects software used by Hollywood studios, just to name a few. With tools this powerful, your imagination is the only limit.
If you’re using NetworkManager, I’d recommend you to use it to create a VPN profile instead and connect to that on startup through the unprivileged nmcli.
