From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Nobara Linux. Fedora's better looking younger brother.
Why not using Fedora and customizing it yourself? What's the advantage of Nobara over Fedora?
Nobara uses optimized custom kernel for games
Oh that's interesting. I use Fedora but will look into Nobara.
Why not use Linux from scratch and customizing it yourself? What's the advantage of a distro over Linux from scratch?
The only reason stated above my comment is that Nobara looks better than Fedora. I asked because I genuinely don't know what's in Nobara that is not in Fedora and why is better Nobara.
No need to be an ass, leave that for Reddit users.
I wasn't being an ass, I just jokingly pointed how a bit limited sighted your comment was: the way I see, a distro exists to save your time by already doing a pre-customization of the system for the user, even if it's just comestic.
Oh sorry. I hate working early in the morning so I didn't catch your tone!
