Debian testing for gaming?

posted 1 year ago

Mair@lemmy.blahaj.zone

I’m on arch currently (with an RX 7600 and R5 3600) and its a good experience, but I find myself wanting many of the .deb packages available on Debian, and trawling the AUR makes me nervous

would Debian testing give me a good gaming experience? I run all of my packages off of flatpak anyway, and would continue to do so on Debian

I’m just a casual gamer but I use Debian stable and I’ve had very few problems. I think a lot of people believe that Debian stable is too old to be usable but steam works flawlessly. At least in my experience.

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.
