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!

    Fedora Silverblue and Linux Mint Debian Edition are my goto distros atm. Have not had issues with either, they’ve been great out of the box. Fedora Silverblue requires relearning a few things however, being very container oriented.

      Are there any avantages of LMDE vs pure debian?

      I mean LMDE is just plain debian with pre installed packages, GUI?

      If LDME uses debian bookworm stable, their is not point in LMDE except for the ease of installation process?

        Its just Debian with a face lift, also because part of me fears that Ubuntu could pull off the same stunt Redhat did and that’ll cause issues for Linux Mint main.
