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 recently ditched Manjaro for Debian and it’s amazing. I installed Nvidia drivers as desceibed on Debian’s wiki and have never had to read the wiki since then. Games work fine, system doesn’t break after update, always wakes up from sleep (it was a gamble on Manjaro but mostly didn’t work) and shuts down properly (Manjaro tended to freeze with black screen once it exited DE).
I used to be reluctant about switching to Debian and its derivatives because i read so much about the outdated packages and haven’t had the best experience with pop os but Debian just works and it’s amazing.
Thanks for your feedback.
I think I might stick with Debian after all. Tumbleweed is nice and all, but I quickly ran into some issues for finding third party proprietary software packages. There isn’t as big a user base either. So finding help when things go bad is a bit more difficult. Otherwise I think it’s a great distro. Much better than arch anyway as far as rolling releases go. And a lot easier to use.
Debian might require a bit more manual work, but I’m pretty used to that distro. So it won’t be a big challenge. And I don’t mind my software being a little behind if it means I get to use my desktop instead of troubleshooting.
