Just tried the original spin -- Wayland keeps freezing
up on me using the nouveau driver.  (Never got the chance to
get it on the NVIDIA binary blob.)

Most importantly, the networking is stupid.  I don't know
if that's Fedora or Nobara, but it hangs looking for a DHCP
address on my SAN connection.  I configured my Synology Diskstation
to give it an address, so I got past that, and to the point
where I could set up the Internet connection semi-manually.

Also, I did see the warning about "Nobara 39" being past
end-of-life, which I assume is based on Fedora 39's timetable.

What it *has* done is inspired me to look at modern Plasma as
a desktop.  I liked what I saw from the pinnable menus.

TL;DR: wait for Nobara 40.
