Nobara Project hurdles
Craggles086 Aug 20, 2022
So I am playing around with the Nobara Project gaming distro.

Bit hit and miss so far, although I did download the official ISO which mixes up Gnome a bit.
Might get better mileage if I went with either the Gnome ISO or the KDE ISO.
Am aware this is still a work in development so do not judge it too harshly.

The first issue I had was trying to close a window using the touchpad.
Clicking on the X button with left mouse (on touchpad)
would generally open the right click menu, or very occasionally close the window.

To fix this, disable Mouse Click Emulation in the “Tweaks” settings.
By default the bottom right of the touchpad gets treated as Right Click,
but my Lenovo Legion 5 laptop seriously merges bottom right into bottom left here.

The other issue I am having is in Steam

So whatever XBox controller stuff Nobara has installed is annoying as,

Do not care what it does for an XBox controller,
But my Astro C40 controller which shows up as a Playstation Controller as it should,
has moved the A button to X, and moved the B button to A.
This is a serious dampener on all my years of muscle memory.

Does not happen on any other distro and is driving me crazy.
If I try swapping them in Steam Controller settings this will stuff up gaming on the desktop.
