From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

While it has a bunch of patches that can boost gaming performance and such it's stability takes a hit in some areas. It's also not quite as user friendly as other options. It can be better for those looking for a fedora base if that's what they prefer, tho.
It's also extremely opinionated & while it's a great fit for those who have a matching use case, for general uses it's a bit too opinionated.
It's neither the worst, nor the best. It just highly depends on use case.
I've watched a few comparison videos, and the performance gains are negligible when compared to other common distros, so that's definitely not the point in installing it.
The good part about nobara is the set of tools that come preinstalled and the wecome program which lets you update the system, the drivers and the codecs.
Nothing you couldn't replicate in a few minutes on another distro of course
