From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I use debian for gaming and light LLM workloads and it's been serving me quite well. Really like KDE.
Are you using Bookworm? I had trouble getting sddm on it to use system resolution. Normally I would ignore that but I only installed it on a VM so I could record an intro for my stream of Debian booting into the gaming.
I haven't updated my machine yet because I have no experience with wayland or pipewire and Nvidia with gaming. I was also interested if it's pretty decent with games and nvidia yet.
I am. SDDM should work properly out of the box, maybe it's a wierd issue with virtualization?
Wayland is pretty much plug and play if you install xwayland (with the exception of OBS studio which used to be wierd about Wayland surfaces, I think that's fixed now). Pipe wire has been working fine for me.
I use AMD though, so ymmv with Nvidia.
Yes, I thought it might be a weird sddm bug so I installed gdm and configured that too with the same result. Next option is to try a different distribution.
