I recommend Nobara OS nvidia version. This comes with drivers during initial installation so no need to follow wiki guides and spend additional time carefully installing stuff. The biggest “plus” is that (assuming you are using discord), they have a pretty large discord server where you can ask questions and stuff.

Even though its just a spin on fedora, I think this community and distro is good for newcomers who also game.

I don’t know what to ask specifically but can you talk more about the project or like anything cool that isn’t mentioned in the article? I’m an undergrad at a U.S. Uni and we have a supercomputer(cluster I think?) but everything is new to me and I would like to learn more.
