For those familiar, what are the advantages/disadvantages of this vs Nobara?

The very same ones when one compares Fedora Workstation to Fedora Silverblue. Which mostly come down to Bazzite offering more stability, improved security, reproducibility, atomic updates and a pinch of declarativity^[1]^ at the expense of relearning a thing or two and actually being limited in some (rather niche) actions that are currently not supported on Silverblue (and thus -by extension- Bazzite). Chances are rather slim that the average Nobara-user would delve into any of those unsupported actions. So if you ever happen to stumble upon something you're not able to do/perfom on Silverblue/Bazzite/uBlue then it's safe to assume that you're not approaching it correctly and that a different approach would have resulted in the desired outcome.

Regular Silverblue is not very declarative, if at all. However, the toolkit that uBlue offers -and which is used by Bazzite to create its image- enables one to have some degree of declarativity. It's by no means comparable to the likes of NixOS or Guix, but it's only going to get better from here.

Looks interesting, the option to install android apps could be convenient

This looks awesome. Maybe I will adapt some things to my Arch install. This Distrobox thing looks great.

Very neat, it's on my list now for when I concert my HTPC over. The last hurdle is that I will use it for Plex, so HDR is a must. I know Linux is getting close there, but if it's my main driver I have to wait

Hopefully won't be a very long wait for that, red hat is really pushing for HDR right now.

So is Valve I know, they're hoping to have it with SteamOS 3.5, and I think they're going right to the kernel for it. Hopefully someone gets it in soonish, it's looking like it's pretty close

Sadly far from usable tried both on desktop and on deck
