Switching to Debian on my gaming pc

demoman@lemmy.one to Linux@lemmy.ml – 79 points –

Hello everyone - I have been wanting to ditch windows on my gaming pc for a while now, and since I have recently finished a large project, I now have the free time to switch. I am relatively comfortable with Debian having used it for a while on my web server as well as school laptop, but I am concerned about using it on my gaming computer since I have heard stock Debian is not the greatest for gaming. All of my other daily driver programs I know will work, so I am mainly concerned with the gaming aspect.

In the case that you don't recommend Debian for my gaming computer, do you have an OS that you would recommend?

I appreciate any insight!

Thanks for your comment! I am going to try stable for a while and see how it goes... worst case I can switch to a different distro.

if stable gets too stale (heh) for you, you can always move to sid

this is where im at. installed stable a few weeks ago while its relatively fresh. ready to upgrade to sid if i ever need more than flatpak
