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?

Use Fedora KDE. It's general purpose distro. Bazzite is more gaming oriented but IMO you should stay with conservative setup if you want hassle free experience.

Yeah, I've considered it. But I don't really like the company behind it. And the short support cycles isn't great either. They also make it complicated to install 3rd party proprietary drivers and codecs, which is lame.
