Deepin has their own packaging format now.
Technically, it hasn't been "proprietary" for a long time. snaps came out in 2014 or so. Snapcraft.io (aka "the backend") has a github repo with commits going back to Aug 16, 2017.

Absolutely proprietary
Technically, they aren't proprietary, even snapcraft.io is open source, it's just a walled garden. But so much else wrong with snaps, so picture still more or less accurate

Why is everyone all of a sudden using Fedora?
Technically, they're not really "proprietary" (even the snapcraft.io "store" / backend has gplv3 code on github) ... they're still shit, but not proprietary. It think "walled garden" or "locked down" would be more appropriate phrasing.

Install Fedora, then install fedy

Is it a good idea to use this?
I am a Linux noob and I decided to start on Fedora (KDE spin) but I found it really hard to install NVIDIA drivers. I couldn't get them to work no matter what I tried. I then found this piece of software called Fedy that seems like it would help me but I haven't seen it recommended anywhere.

Simply impossible to install NVIDIA drivers
Try Fedy to just install all that stuff and the codecs. Glorious little tool that doesn't get enough love. https://github.com/rpmfusion-infra/fedy

- Linux is mentioned in this sub BINGO

Why is everyone all of a sudden using Fedora?
Despite rumors that RpmFusion won't do it (which are untrue and based on ONE maintainer saying he personally was not interested), efforts are alive and well to bring the support to RpmFusion - see github and bugzilla for rpmfusion - so I would suggest just being patient and giving them the time they need.
- Fedora should be more user friendly?

Noob at Linux/Nobara project, wifi problems
Install a tool called Fedy (here) it has some cool tweaks for fedora. But what you need is in the drivers tab, install the broadcom drivers. But only do this if you actually have a broadcom card! If your card is mediatek, it should work but sometimes its hit or miss, even on windows. If its intel, you should not have any problems. Try other distro like popOS or ubuntu in live usb (you dont need to install it) and see if wifi is better. You can also try to install a different more recent or slightly older kernel, it might be a bug with your wifi drivers in the current kernel nobara uses. Other distros also have different kernels so you can check how the wifi behaves in them as i said.
