I distro hopped to it from Bazzite a couple of months ago, and I could not be happier.

If you try the installer, be careful when selecting multiples DE/WM as the conflicts were not listed anywhere for the installation process.

Picking a single environment and then adding the others later was what worked for me.

Its typically within a month of Fedora updating their version. Fedora releasing a new version doesnt invalidate the old version so there really is no RUSH to get the new stuff. Nobara is ahead of fedora in gaming packages getting them from source.

Anyway plasma 6.6 only came out a month ago. If you want packages within a month of release you should probably be using arch.
