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.

If you are in the fedora mood, try nobara os. It's fedora but with a spin on gaming, patches and some gui tools also. You can also try an inmutable distro like bazzite, which is also fedora and also focused on gaming. My advise would be to try a couple of things now that your system is clean and stick with whatever you like best.
To be honest, most things in Nobra can be installed/done to regular Fedora. And, unlike Nobra, Fedora has more than 1 maintainer: goof for the bus factor.
The nobara tweaks and configuration can be done on fedora but op is unlikely to know what they are or how to do them. If I remember correctly there's quite a few important gaming things that fedora doesn't ship with but I don't know what they are cause I loaded fedora then switched to nobara after a few hours.
Maybe pop os is a good choice since it's a mix of gaming related and beginner friendly.
They use fedora repos so it shouldn't have much impact.
TBH, I don't really super feel like moving around since I now have something that works. While I do like setting up an environment, I can't say I wouldn't rather use it than set it up :P

Could always triple boot, use the third to play around to see if'n something else is even better than what you have, or use a container to test run different linuxes... linii? Personally I'm enjoying LMDE, and don't like Gnome either, but that's the great thing about Linux, so many different options.
I may at some point consider. I'm gonna rock out with this for the time being though, and later down the road if I feel like exploring I can set up a third boot partition. I appreciate the suggstions!
For sure. Lots of people here are enthusiasts that like trying out different things and different distros. Most people will just find something they like and stick with it for years. Don't get me wrong, it can be fun to jump around, but don't feel compelled to. Fedora will likely serve you well for the forseeable future.
I tried nebora after I effed up my kunutnu install. I was doing some super weird stuff. (Tried to remove snap)
Nebora for me was the worst experience out of every distro I've tried. I went back to kubuntu and manually applied what nebora did with much better results. (This time around I removed snap before doing anything else).
Kububtu with snap removed has been perfect so far.
Honestly just use Fedora or Linux mint. Nobara has a very small community so if you run into issues we may not be able to help you.
I tried Nobara recently and had awful difficulties with it, probably because I have a NVIDIA GPU.
My GPU (3080 Ti) is compatible with the drivers it specified but it would get stuck on a blank screen.
