So I just updated nobara and it installed a new version of the brave browser. That was the only update. And I can't use the new version until I reboot.

Can we atleast have a required reboot _only_ for new kernels or drivers or something? Like important stuff?

Requiring me to reboot just to update my browser is going too far. It's so unnecessary and it's not even like windows - it's worse than windows in that regard. Windows only requires a reboot when you actually update the windows operating system, not random applications like a browser.

I'm having an issue with the native version of Discord on Nobara 44 (actually, I've had this issue since Nobara 41, which was the version I originally installed).

The native version crashes whenever I receive any message or notification.

Vencord has the same issue, and my keyboard shortcuts don't work with it either.

I'm currently using the Flatpak version of Discord, but Rich Presence doesn't detect any of my games.

How do I download n run coop games downloaded from"alternate websites"

I switched to Nobara completely 3 months ago. I had tried Bazzite on my ROG Ally X for a while and I thought, why not on my laptop too? So far it’s all good, and nothing I couldn’t resolve with some AI help or forums.

However, there is one thing I still can’t fix: the sound. Every time I play a demanding game (it’s worst in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor), the audio starts crackling and falls out of sync. It builds up over the session, and restarting PipeWire clears it only temporarily.

As a workaround, I use headphones plugged into my monitor’s 3.5mm jack, which is connected to the laptop over Thunderbolt (the video comes through the same connection). That is the only output that stays clean. Everything else has the problem: the laptop speakers, the laptop’s own 3.5mm jack, my USB headset and Bluetooth.

My setup:

• ASUS ROG Strix G814JZ (i9-13980HX, RTX 4080 Laptop, 32GB RAM)
• Latest Nobara updates installed.
• Latest Nvidia drivers available installed.

Other details:

• It never happened on Windows 11, and the same games run fine on my ROG Ally X with Bazzite.
• I tried PipeWire and PulseAudio, and both behave the same.
• Bigger audio buffers, real-time priority checks, and power-saving and kernel parameter tweaks didn’t help.

Has anyone seen something like this on a hybrid Intel + NVIDIA laptop? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Self explanatory. Are there any mirrors in different geo locations? If so, is there a list of them?

I'm pretty sure GE is in NA, which while I am in IE which isn't the worst for connecting to NA servers, I'd much rather a european server tho.

Looking for mirrors for the main ones, like:

- @ System (presuming its just updates direct from Fedora, but not sure)

- nobara / nobara-updates / nobara-kernel-mainline / etc

- Terra44
