Well Arch is great at what it does: getting you the latest packages of everything without needing to upgrade every 6 months or whatever; that does come at the cost of a bit less stability. There's EndeavourOS if you're uncomfortable installing from the console.

The main issue with nobara is that it's handled by a single person. Almost everything you get on nobara you can get with a few commands on the terminal in fedora; and whatever patches they have under the hood will at best get a marginal performance boost and at worst cause major crashes and issues.

Nobara is a solid choice for people that don't like to tweak their system too much because it comes with everything you need to play games from the get-go. If you're more of a power user there's very little reason to pick it over fedora or arch.

How do I check for drivers updates manually?

Your distribution handles the packaging and distribution of your drivers, if they're not in your distribution repository you can install them manually (not recommended), use a flatpak (can be awkward), or wait.

If you want bleeding edge drivers you get a bleeding edge distribution like Arch. Fedora is good too but you will only get the latest version every 6 months and after that it's stable releases till the next fedora upgrade.

You can update fedora through the terminal which skips the reboot part.

To choose your distro you must first decide whether you want a a stable distribution (debian) or a bleeding edge one (arch). Then you have to decide whether you want it to be a rolling release (tumbleweed) or a fixed point release distribution (fedora).

There's a lot more that could be said about each of these distros, but they all have KDE sessions.

This would kill the fun for everyone but the best. SBMM is there to protect casuals and new players, aka 90% of players.

Pretty sure I've heard users from these regions mention that they had their shops completely unavailable in certain games

Those were local measures that were not handled by the European Union.

If you look at how the EU is handling the Digital Markets Act - it's gonna be fines.

The gaming industry is gonna fight this every step of the way. There's gonna be lobbying, kicking and screaming; and no it's certainly not as simple as "follow the rules or get banned". First off because you can't just ban games by flicking your fingers, there's thousands of games and dozens of distributing platforms. Secondly because the goal isn't to remove them from the market but to get them to play ball.

I guess guidelines are a decent start, the part that's gonna be tricky is getting the gaming industry to follow them.

The problem with this line of thinking is that it applies to literally anything: "If you're not comfortable, don't let your kids smoke". A lot of parents are shit or just don't care to micromanage their kids' life. That's where the government needs to step in and decide what is ok for the kids to be exposed to or not.

Parents ultimately always have the veto choice, but whether Roblox is appropriate for kids to begin with is the real crux of the issue. The CEO just doesn't want that discussion to happen for obvious reasons.
