I'm considering switching from Arch Linux to Fedora for my game development projects, specifically for running Vinegar, which is an unofficial port of Roblox Studio for Linux. I'm experiencing significant lag with my current setup on Arch. I use Wayland and have Intel integrated graphics. Is this switch a good idea? Any insights would be appreciated!

Switching from Arch to Fedora can be a good choice, especially if you're looking for more stability. Fedora tends to be more reliable, although you might not get the latest software updates as frequently as on Arch. Many find Fedora easier to manage without needing constant tinkering. If you're tired of the lag, it might be worth trying out!
Fedora is solid! I've used it for a while now and love how straightforward it is. Just keep in mind that Fedora focuses on stability, so it may not have the absolute latest packages compared to Arch. If that’s not a dealbreaker for you, go for it!
Just to add, while both Fedora and Arch are great, the performance difference might not be as dramatic as you expect. If lag is your main issue, it could be time to consider upgrading your hardware instead.
I think your performance issues might not be directly related to Arch itself. Have you tried using DXVK or Vulkan? Also, the way you install games (like using Flatpak or building from source) can really affect performance. Your specific hardware configuration could be a big factor too.
Right! It's worth checking your configuration and setups before making a big switch. Sometimes, it's just a matter of tweaking your current setup.
True, but don't forget both distros have their quirks. Just because Fedora is stable doesn't mean it won't have its own challenges.
