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?

I also use Debian. And it is awsome. very stable with KDE + wayland.

I wrote a script to do post OS installation: https://github.com/LuceusXylian/debian-desktop-setup/blob/master/debian_desktop_setup.sh

You do not need the stuff after # Focusrite Config

Nice!! I'll check it out!
