Important: Nobara is way less Secure than Fedora.
- no Secureboot
- monthly updates instead of often daily
- purposefully removed SELinux (because the Dev doesnt know how to use it)
- still no Fedora39!
If you want to game, stick to regular Fedora. A project that is actually secure is ublue with dedicated NVIDIA images that should just work and never break, and they even have Bazzite, an Image specifically for the Steamdeck but also for Desktop.
These images are only ½ day behind upstream, apply minimal additions and patches (like drivers, codecs, packages, udev rules for controllers) and Nick from the video above found out that the Nobara patches with their weird less supported Kernel arent really worth the hassle.
As a non-power user, I don’t want daily updates. Monthly is perfectly fine for me.
Proprietary UEFI BIOS is, but for a secure system with local manipulation prevention it can be needed. Also secureboot is a security measurement against malware so no, its simply the best we have.
Look at Coreboot if you want a secure modern system
