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?
Just use Fedora/Bazzite or Arch/Cachy at this point?
You can game just fine on Debian based systems but if you want the latest and greatest from your recently launched hardware, running these scripts that installs a custom kernel and does a lot of tinkering, is of not much use.
This script is like buying a family hatchback car and then making a ton of changes to make it run like a sports car.
Seems LLM Generated as well. Because I don’t think Fortnite works well (if at all) on Linux. This just seems an LLM reassuring the Dev that it works? IDK.
Or if they really want specifically Debian for gaming, use PikaOS instead because it is gaming optimized Debian. CachyOS or Bazzite is stilk a better choice IMO though.
I really don’t want to use an Arch based system.
I’m worried about stability and security issues. I don’t mind using a distro with slightly older packages if it means I won’t have to troubleshoot anything or risk any vulnerabilities. That’s why I stuck with Ubuntu for so long.
Bazzite is based on Fedora and is fairly stable.
In that case definitely would recommend PikaOS. I myself run Bazzite for my main gaming machine, but when I was considering making a gaming PC server I looked into it because it’s built on Debian and that has more stability and security for a server, and it seemed really great. It’s likely only improved more since then.
Never heard of it hehe. The only derivative I have ever used is Mint.
True. The readme claims Battlefield 2142 is supported, but on Protondb it’s still botched, because of the EA’s javelin anti cheat.
Yeah, it’s for sure AI slop.
