Universal gaming optimisation for all Debian-based Distros — AMD, NVIDIA, Intel Arc - Lunarboar/debian-gaming-suite

I’m ditching Ubuntu. Thinking of switching to Debian.

Has anyone used this, or something similar to set up their Debian gaming setup?

This got me thinking. Do I need to install anything special to Debian 13 to be able to play games? Or can I play them with a normal Debian out of the box?

    ✅ What It Does

    • Installs XanMod kernel with BORE scheduler (smoother frames, less stutter)
    • Sets up a weekly auto-update pipeline to stay cutting edge

    Just use Fedora/Bazzite or Arch/Cachy at this point?

    You can game just fine on Debian based systems but if you want the latest and greatest from your recently launched hardware, running these scripts that installs a custom kernel and does a lot of tinkering, is of not much use.

    This script is like buying a family hatchback car and then making a ton of changes to make it run like a sports car.

    • Sets up EAC + BattlEye anti-cheat (Battlefield, Fortnite, GTA 5, Apex)

    Seems LLM Generated as well. Because I don’t think Fortnite works well (if at all) on Linux. This just seems an LLM reassuring the Dev that it works? IDK.

      Or if they really want specifically Debian for gaming, use PikaOS instead because it is gaming optimized Debian. CachyOS or Bazzite is stilk a better choice IMO though.

      True. The readme claims Battlefield 2142 is supported, but on Protondb it’s still botched, because of the EA’s javelin anti cheat.

      Yeah, it’s for sure AI slop.
