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!

    Just convenience in the form of focusing on a user-friendly out of the box experience, really. That’s enough for me to use it over Debian on desktop, though I like Debian for servers.

      But Debian for servers is also a pain.

      • no hardened ssh config
      • apparmor by default?
      • no automatic updates which is bogus
