Aside from being based on Fedora 39 now, KDE is now the official desktop environment replacing GNOME. The reasons why are in the article.
The GNOME version of Nobara still exists, but it’s going to be the vanilla version shipped without any extensions (probably because many of them broke after moving to Fedora 39)

That version is on Fedora 39 since… it is released.
It is based on ublue, so
- atomic images that work out of the box
- nightly updates, instead of weeks too late
- nvidia, asus, framework, razer, surface, steamdeck versions
- wine and all the hardware stuff preinstalled
- using SELinux
- fleek allows to use nix
- homebrew available
Not wanting to shame on Glorious Eggroll, Nobara simply is a hobby project and not a Distro you should use, but a cool Experiment on what it possible.
Bazzite probably uses all its adaptions, but automates the build process and defining the changes once, after that they are automatically applied to Fedora upstream.
It’s just a bleeding edge testing distro for what’s to come in gaming on Linux, with some fixes which won’t be in any other distro for months, years or ever. It has its place and i applaud the effort
Honestly you should just stick to Fedora. If your looking for very user friendly then I would go for Linux mint.
IDK , Nobara is really stable. The main difference for me was that it comes with all the AV codecs you could need, and a few tweaks for gaming. Saved me a lot of time in the end.
