The Nobara Project, to put it simply, is a modified version of Fedora Linux with user-friendly fixes added to it.
This project aims to fix most of those issues and offer a better gaming, streaming, and content creation experience out of the box. More importantly, they want to be more point and click friendly, and avoid the basic user from having to open the terminal. It’s not that the terminal and/or terminal usage are a bad thing by any means, power users are more than welcome to continue with using the terminal, but for new users, point and click ease of use is usually expected.
Yes, anyone can do most tweaks on top of any Linux distro, but what sets this one apart is its built-in use of the Glorious Eggroll Proton DB fixes, along with kernel level fixes and tweaks. Most newer Linux users struggle to assemble all the tweaks to work on their existing Distros (I certainly had some issues with newer version of GE ProtonDB and am stuck on an older version myself).
Note that many of these optimisations are specific to making advanced Windows-only games run well on Linux.
The project page does provide some ISO files which are ready to be flashed to a USB stick and create the distro. But yes, that either means a clean start, or putting it on a dedicated Linux gaming machine. Chris Titus did a good recommendation about it at https://youtu.be/v3APRsnX8FA.
