I like Linux a lot, but use windows 11 because it just works without all the finicky bugs, crashes and low performance Linux struggles with until you find the right formula of software and drivers per game. 1% is hardly a metric to sway someone away from Windows. Going to check out that Fedora, though.
I've been on Nobara for a few months, and I have to say that it's buttery smooth. I think I have had one issue that wasn't self-inflicted so far (NVIDIA drivers didn't work properly on the first install, but I uninstalled them and reinstalled them, and it's fine now). I had more weird bugs moving to Windows 11, and I had to deal with insane random slow-downs and high CPU temperatures for no reason. On KDE Nobara, things are snappy, and my laptop is quiet. If you want a set-and-forget OS, use the GNOME version of Nobara. It's got basically everything you need for gaming set up right out the gate, including the necessary NVIDIA drivers for gaming.
As for performance not helping the Linux desktop...sure, but performance and near-feature-parity will surely help people be less afraid of switching away from Windows when Microsoft does something they don't like.
