    I’ve been thinking about making the switch. How difficult do you find it to play steam games on your setup?

      LMDE (mint sans ubuntu) user here, gaming is a dream, but sometimes a nightmare. You may need eventually to manually update the graphics card driver If you’re on Nvidia, as the debian repos it pulls from are hella out of date. Otherwise, smooth sailing.

      You’ll likely only encounter problems on native games, Feral ports specifically seem to assume people have a libraries that they don’t, so I often find myself launching their games in a terminal a million times to figure out what libraries are missing and manually link them or just copy them into the game lib folder.
