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?

    Just switch to Debian, I haven’t used a script like this (or heard of it). Get Wine from WineHQ to run Windows apps, they have the instructions on how to install it, and look up how to install the drivers for your GPU, and it’ll work fantastic. That’s all you’ll need provided the rest of the system is working, I don’t even have shit like certain launchers.

      Cool.

      But what about using an optimized kernel? I see there’s the Xanmod or whatever that provides better settings.

      Debian could really use a gaming pack.

        I just use the kernel that it ships with. Plays me stuff like Skyrim Anniversary Edition at the FPS I’d expect from my laptop on Windows. Things are nice.
