Kubuntu vs Nobara KDE for gaming!
Kubuntu vs Nobara KDE for gaming!
I located a discussion on the forum about Nobara Linux. Now I have two choices: KDE Nobara or Arch KDE. Can I turn off compositing effects in KDE? Also, what’s the optimal GPU governor for performance?
For a gaming setup I'd recommend Nobara because it comes with extra features to enhance performance. With Arch Linux you can still customize, but you'll need to collect the necessary packages and configure it for gaming. You can turn off certain effects in the settings since there are many options to adjust. On the welcome screen of Nobara, you can update the system and install NVIDIA drivers if needed, as it supports Flatpak and web apps. I think you might have seen discussions about using Nobara with KDE; it sounds like a good fit for your needs.
Yeah! I saw your post from a few days ago I think. I was pretty set on Ubuntu but then encountered all these different distibutions and I just had to make an account to ensure that I was making the right choice. Shall I go with Nobara KDE edition? Can you guide me through disabling the compositor? I read about gamemoderun by someone (a cpu governor for performance mode???). Any input on your part would be appreciated!
Compositing effects turn off when the screen is fullscreen and in focus, though you can still disable desktop effects if needed. I don’t have a clear answer for the governor and it probably won’t make a big impact.
i suggest definitely. if i recall right, you should go to system settings, then style/theme effects, it's noticeable because the settings act like a control panel for kde. i've found extra effects, like closing a window and it explodes. thanks to these effects, i can see what happens when the window is closed or minimized, so i know what i did. as @nayr438 pointed out, it turns off automatically since the game window no longer explodes. regarding gamemoderun, i have no prior experience with it and haven't heard of it, so i plan to research it further later. good luck!
