Nobara is like 3 or 4 tweaks, not endless hours and is already gaming ready by default...
In the use case of the person who originally commented I would rather use Fedora and then eventually tweak it using some of Nobara's stuff to my liking.
If you want power usage without the rolling release hassle of Arch, Fedora seems like a good bet. Remember tho that while linux mint is often recommended as the "beginner" option, it's also a distro that gives power to the user and in the end you can do as much with it as any other distros. If I can add something, Debian testing/unstable could be a good idea for a desktop too since you're already used to that one
About the factory stuff, in France it's already managed at the local scale
Have you considered presenting them stateless alternative leftist schools of thought? Maybe they think authoritarianism is the only way to have a leftist society
It's not that
