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?

    PopOS is in active development and I would strongly recommend NOT using it, especially if you’re not an experienced Linux user.

    System76 makes great hardware but their OSs leave a lot to be desired right now.

      Ah.

      I thought they had actually finally finished COSMiC?

      Apparently not?

      Back 5 ish years ago, I was able to run Steam and the Index on it, back in Proton 6/7 days, via installing Steam from Debian sources.

      (obligatory acinowledgement of meme numbers)

      Hell I had RDR2 working on it, even online worked up untill the point Rockstar decided all linux gamers are hackers.

      Anyway, back when it was their sort of modified version of GNOME, I quite liked it, because it was both easy for newbie to understand the basics, but also allowed significant customizability and tweak ability for more experienced users.
