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?

    I really don’t want to use an Arch based system.

    I’m worried about stability and security issues. I don’t mind using a distro with slightly older packages if it means I won’t have to troubleshoot anything or risk any vulnerabilities. That’s why I stuck with Ubuntu for so long.

      In that case definitely would recommend PikaOS. I myself run Bazzite for my main gaming machine, but when I was considering making a gaming PC server I looked into it because it’s built on Debian and that has more stability and security for a server, and it seemed really great. It’s likely only improved more since then.
