Universal gaming optimisation for all Debian-based Distros — AMD, NVIDIA, Intel Arc - Lunarboar/debian-gaming-suite

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?

    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.

        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.
