This sounds like a good idea. I started my Linux journey with Mint. Installation was fine and everything worked, but gaming performance was terrible. I think because not properly supporting my 9700 gre. Then I installed nobara (fedora) and was really happy. Everything work smoothly. Also the gaming performance was at least as good as on windows. But the fact, that this distro is a small project of a single person I started too loog around for an alternative. This led to me installing CashyOS (Arch). The setup was a little more complicated and I needed to install more additional packages, than on nobara. It has been a few weeks now, everything is working without much problems, but still… I somehow do not feel at home, like when running nobara. I thought about switching back to nobara, but maybe fedora KDE is also an option…
Funny to read. I recently came to the same conclusion and downloaded openSUSE yesterday. At the moment I am waiting for a time slot to install it.
