Nobara?

I really love the QoL tweaks and patches of the Nobara Project. At the end, it is just a spin of Fedora. The pros of this spin are obvious: It gives a better more stable gaming experience. The obvious con is, no T2 patches are present.
I installed Nobara Linux and didn't get wired ethernet to work (I have only a loopback interface when running ifconfig) and I suspect this is related due to missing T2 patches. Also the documented non-functional hardware can be replicated (i.e. integrated keyboard / trackpad not working).
It would really be nice for someone to maintain the gaming-oriented spin of Fedora with T2 patches and I couldn't think about someone else than you. The process would probably be very similar and I would be willing to test things out on my MacBook Pro 16" 2019.
This would be a great opportunity to bring gaming to the latest Intel MacBooks, since the OS is so much more capable with all adjustments, such as Proton-GE for Wine and Steam.
Please tell me what you think, I'd really appreciate some feedback.
Best regards!

Its not a spin, it has a lot of questionable packaging changes. If you wanted you could just add either this or my repo and reinstall the kernel.
@sharpenedblade Hi, thanks for your response, but I'm confused. Aren't the T2 patches kernel patches? Nobara patches the kernel as well, so I doubt I can just reinstall a different kernel. I really want to try Nobara with T2 patches and from my understanding this requires to manually path T2 into the kernel that ships Nobara.

There is a lot of proprietary stuff that makes gaming better in general, otherwise I would love to get some specifics on that topic.
Thanks!
