Right after I finished installing Nobara I found that it was locked up in a loop, constantly reporting that it needed updates but then not able to install them.

On the first time I tried to install this distro I gave up because of this. Later I went back and decided to try and solve the problem.

Turned out to be not too much of a problem. Solving the Nobara update loop was as easy as entering this one command.

sudo dnf update rpmfusion-nonfree-release rpmfusion-free-release fedora-repos nobara-repos --refresh && sudo dnf distro-sync --refresh && sudo dnf update --refresh
