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 to add, finding good wayland support can be more important for gaming depending on your hardware. You get HDR, variable refresh rate, fractional scaling for monitors and other goodies.

Wish I could stay on Wayland but it's not quite there for game streaming yet. Window/scene capture in OBS is miles better on X11 still. For non-streamers though Wayland is amazing

Yeah, I actually switched distro to get Wayland multi-monitor VRR. But, unfortunately, it seems that it's kinda broken with my Novideo GPU :(
