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?



Debian works just fine for gaming out of the box with a few commands from the Debian wiki. Maybe use a Debian testing or at least backports if you want newer packages by if you do its a little more work by Debian stable but less than something like arch.

This is a great how-to. Thanks for sharing!
You can play on Debian stable just fine. I installed Steam through flatpak and I am happy with my AMD gpu. (:
Disclaimer: I don’t play many games, but I wouldn’t say they are not demanding.
