Fedora’s key selling point is being up to date and extremely boring. It’s mainly just off-the-shelf software, with minimal niche custom software. Flathub and Steam are available from the setup process. It’s the most Linux Linux that Linuxes today.
Edit: the bonus is that Red Hat being a sponsor means that the biggest improvements to the Linux desktop come to Fedora first. That’s what happened with PipeWire.
Portal 2’s level editor
I think the video I linked in the post would demonstrate the benefits better than me writing here. I agree that the look of Portal 2 has long-lasting appeal, but P2CE introduces improved lighting and graphics rendering inspired by Source 2 while still being Source 1. Otherwise, the improvements are mainly technical, like removing signature “Source spaghetti” engine limitations.
The real killer feature is that it reorganizes Portal 2 under the hood to be very mod- and custom campaign-friendly, so it will be the Portal enthusiast’s dream platform.
Here’s a video from the P2CE channel that shows the lighting changes in a bit more detail.
You’ll miss out on the plot of 1 that sets up for 2, but for gameplay, you would be fine. But if 1 crashes, you better hope 2 works well.
Fun fact: if the learning curve is steep, then it’s rising up a lot in a small amount of time. In order words, a steep learning curve means a lot of learning happens quickly!
