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!

    Idk how well Debian stable would work, but Debian Sid might be a bit easier to work with in terms of games with it being more on the bleeding edge.

    There’s also Linux Mint Debian if you want to stay in the Debian universe, but you’d get more of the ease of use of Mint.

    Me personally, I’m using Fedora for gaming and I haven’t really had many issues with it. If you’re feeling adventurous, you could try Fedora or Nobara, which is a more gaming focused spinoff of Fedora
