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’m a long time Linux user since 2000 or 2001. Started on Mandrake lol. Used RedHat Linux in school too. Then moved to Ubuntu in 2004 and stuck around with them ever since.
I compiled my own Linux kernel to include specific modules for special features on my graphics card back then, like the RCA video input and output. Or for connecting to the internet on DSL. Man, I had a lot of free time back then.
I also worked at Xandros where I build the Linux OS for the Asus Eee PC. Those little 7in and 9in netbook laptops back in 2008.
So, I’m a little bit experienced lol.
I stand corrected!
I’m glad you’re famliliar with it. I am pretty new to Linux on the desktop (used it on work servers a lot but all shells), and I found a chorus of people hyping Bazzite then too. I tried it out and immediately crashed into the immutability thing.
Once I realized what the ostree was actually doing, I realized it was not ideal for my purposes. To my thinking, if you need to ostree at all, you may want to question your choice of distro. I guess a ton of people just never hook up or install anything at all weird!
