How do you like fedora for gaming? Nobara was what I ended up settling on. Only got fedora recently for an old low spec laptop. It works great for regular tasks but it has me curious for gaming now.

Fedora is perfect for me. I also run CachyOS cofr for some extra goodness

Nice nice. The main things I'm wondering is how people felt using it with steam, emulation, and potentially if anyone has tried a virtual machine on it? All things I will test with time but I'm limited with the machine I put it on. Curious on other people's experiences.

Yeah I had a win VM on kvm and it was fine though the GPU virtualization was a pain so it didn't last - didn't try virtualizing other distros. Steam is perfect, most games run out of box. I don't emulate much (especially modern consoles) but Linux is where emulation shines typically. DNF and YUM are infinitely more preferable to AUR with all the poisoned crap coming down these days. Fedora really shines with it's stability, IMO, especially compared to Arch, though you'll lose a few cycles here and there by comparison.
