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!

    Kinda unfair to call Debian stable old when it just got a new release a few months ago. Sure, in a year or two it’ll start to feel old, but if one were to use flatpaks as you suggested, then Debian stable is perfectly fine, as at that point you aren’t even using the system libs anyway.
