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?

    I had some fun with Pop two-ish years ago. it felt very smooth, until it wasn’t. everything collapsed very quickly after that lol

    part of the problem is that its not actually out of active development as you noted, which is definitely a communication issue from S76

    their github is absolutely slammed with issues, many of which are problems that would be common for casual desktop usage https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch/issues

    I have a lot of hope for the future of pop and cosmic, there’s a good community around it. it just has a long way to go, and is not typically something people who are looking at Debian (renowned for its stability and reliability) would be interested in, in my opinion.

      Agreed.

      I enjoy PopOS, but you can see that quite a few things have to be solved for it to be perfectly daily driveable.

      For now I only use it on my HTPC as it just has to start Kodi and let it do its thing.
