Fedora-Based Nobara 41 Gaming Distro Switches to Open-Source NVIDIA Driver
This release also enables support for the Flatpak Beta repo, improves the HTPC/handheld experience, and updates various utilities.
The Nobar Project released today Nobara 41 as the latest version of this Fedora-based Linux distribution for gamers that features unique, in-house tools and lots of performance improvements.
Based on Fedora Linux 41, the Nobara 41 release switches to the open-source NVIDIA graphics driver by default, along with a cuda-devel option for additional CUDA package support, as well as the latest stable Vulkan drivers by default to improve support for some Vulkan games, and ships mesa-libgallium-freeworld compiled with x264/x265 codecs to improve screen recording.
The Nobara Driver Manager tool has been updated in this release with a new option to install the Broadcom wireless driver. On the other hand, the Nobara Package Manager tool now lets users easily search, install, remove, and manage Flatpak apps without issues.
The Nobara Welcome utility now offers Discord from the Flatpak Beta channel as it supports screen sharing on Wayland, offers the Blender 3D graphics app from the Fedora Linux repos as it supports H.264 recording via FFmpeg, and revamps the Davinci Resolve wizard.
