Aside from being based on Fedora 39 now, KDE is now the official desktop environment replacing GNOME. The reasons why are in the article.
The GNOME version of Nobara still exists, but it’s going to be the vanilla version shipped without any extensions (probably because many of them broke after moving to Fedora 39)

Reading the reasons why they switched to KDE is making me rethink why I’m using gnome
Interesting to read those linked GNOME issue threads, they’re really living up to their reputation… Looks like KDE is becoming the premier gaming DE, and I’m pretty happy with that.
I’m a GNOME developer, and KDE is unfortunately the gaming and colour accurate work desktop at the moment.
Kinda wish the GNOME committee would pull its head out of its ass.
This is a shit-tier post. Why hide the relevant information that’s 2 sentences long?
Relevant information:
Better integration with Steam. By default the Steam Deck uses KDE as the desktop mode. This inherently means it receives updates from Valve in terms of desktop related fixes, and they are actively working with KDE developers to bring updates to KDE (https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/t2184m/is_there_any_cooperation_with_valve_and_kde/)
