Why? I know you guys like stability but fedora is stable.

+1 to this. Never managed to have Nvidia working reliably on fedora. No problem on ubuntu or arch tho.

besides, there's already silverblue + kinoite on fedora

for fedora, i think it's better served by them adopting apx once it's stable

Fedora is already well established despite taking stupid decisions. Ubuntu has many technical and philosophical problems

#

Fedora is also community driven by heart, and the goals are similar to Vanilla OS, so there's no point in duplicating the effort

In fact the entire reason I found VanillaOS was because my migration from Zorin OS to Fedora was motivated by broader app support, but was ultimately botched due to bad drivers. VanillaOS is proving to be the best of both worlds.

I think one of the main reasons for NVIDIA not working is because wayland is default for NVIDIA. I use GNOME with xorg and a NVIDIA card and I don't remember encountering any problems.

Out of curiosity, have you tried out the NVIDIA images of uBlue (unofficial downstream of Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite etc.)? They just put a "1.0 stamp on them" https://github.com/orgs/ublue-os/discussions/108

Welcome new users! Today we're putting a 1.0 stamp on the uBlue Nvidia images. These are images of Fedora Silverblue (GNOME), Kinoite (KDE), Vauxite (XFCE), Sericea (Sway), LXQt, and MATE. ...

# desert orchid I haven't tried it, but I love what uBlue is doing!

Not sure if VanillaOS does this, but I noticed they add some udev rules as well that is a common issue in Silverblue users that use controllers so that users won't have to modify the host OS by themselves (I have read in the past this has been a common pain point in Silverblue by some users). Might be worthwhile checking out what they do for getting ideas.
