Sorry, but which of these distros is right for me? (lemmy.world)

I'm currently trying to decide between CatchyOS and Nobara.

I'm sorry to be generating another of this kind of conversation as I can see they are getting pretty tedious. But you see I'm finally getting ready to take the plunge and try Linux again (after a brief encounter in the early 2000s).

I'm a gamer and I care a lot about gaming but I'm also a game dev. I need to be able to use Unreal Engine, Blender, Gaea, and other dev tools. My understanding is that something like Bazzite isn't right for me there.

So I've been looking at CatchyOS and Nobara. I've read their documentation and so far leaning toward CatchyOS. But sometimes people say Nobara is easier to use. I am not afraid of a command line, but frankly I don't tinker with my computer for fun. I get in and get what I need set up so I can get back to making things.

So what do you all think?

This. I'm on Nobara on my main rig because I didn't know any better when I ditched Windows. It's a decent distro mind you. But it's really just Fedora with some experimental stuff from one dude (which breaks stuff from time to time). I've since installed tumbleweed on my laptop and am much happier with it. Next time something major breaks on the main rig I'm switching that too
