When Ubuntu was just appearing I was using Debian. People laughed at me, saying I am a little bit slowpoke. Now it looks like Ubuntu is starting to die, applying strange decisions. I still use Debian. Well...

Why are you offended being called a slowpoke using slowpoke OS?

I use it on my server because of this reason

Now it looks like Ubuntu is starting to die

Its been dead according to linux purists since 2011 when they went to Unity over Gnome or KDE so ignore them :P

Ubuntu was easier to use out of the box, especially for some hardware like Nvidia hardware in example. Also the software from its repository and the Kernel is not updated nearly as often as Ubuntu. All of this makes it harder to use for Gaming oriented people. Back then Debian users laughed at me (Ubuntu user back then) for using a "toy" distribution. But Debian was not a good option for me back then.

My point is, it does not matter if someone laughs at you. Just use the best option for you.

Just use the best option for you.

Problem is when people don't use what option is best for them and make everything worse for the people who are then asked to help them (or even worse are completely unrelated and have to bear the burden anyway). There are fundamental problems how Canonical distributes security fixes (many locked behind Ubuntu Pro which is free for personal use but still requires signing up for it) and these problems are inherited by Ubuntu remixes like Mint and popOS.

You're probably not the gaming type, I presume.

I’ve been gaming on Debian stable for 6-7 years now; works great.

If you're playing modern games that just released, they often need the newest graphics drivers to run well and look right. It also helps to have the most modern version of apps like Heroic Games Launcher and stuff, but Flatpak has solved that somewhat.

If anyone here games a lot, I'd recommend a more rolling release distro (or the version of Debian that updates packages quickly, forgot its name).

I’ve never had that be an issue in practice. The NV DC drivers cover this need quite well IME: https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers

It’s also the best route I’ve found for setting up CUDA, so two birds, one stone.

I prefer playing games, not with OS.

I game on Debian unstable daily. I don't have the newest hardware but most things work about as well as Windows

debian gamer here. Things suck because I have a non-muxing, bullshit on board graphics card.
