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!
From Arch to Debian, that’s a 180° on stability. But to be honest, I’m using arch for 2 months now and everything seems very stable. I had no problems, yet.
I never had an issue with system stability with Arch. It was just tiring every day making sure everything was up to date. Updates would break little things, like audio or some wine dependencies and I would just have to deal till I ran updates the next day. Meanwhile with Debian, the only issue I have ran into was with lutris and battle.net, and that turned out to just be a problem with mangohud.
