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!
Thank you for your insights and personal experiences :) I love Debian stable as server, never had any issues on a old Asus laptop ! I have only 2 years of “experience” and started with Ubuntu. Good introduction to linux but switched to Debian (<3)
That’s way I’m asking arround I don’t wan’t to have a too bad experience with Debian as main personal PC !
Thank you for your personal blog post and the wiki link :) will surely read through before making my final choice !
No worries! I also posted the blog on this community (https://lemmy.world/post/9543661) and someone mentioned in the comments they’re running Debian stable for gaming.
That can also be an option if you’d like to avoid testing for the minute, though I’m not sure what pitfalls that setup might have.
Good luck on your journey!
