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?

Absolutely fair.

Personally I switched over to primarily using Bazzite... so... I kind of just figured that they... would have basically finished at least v1.0 of COSMIC by now.

Apparently not.

But! Desktop Environments are fucking hard, so I am glad they are still pursuing it.

But yeah if its still basically in Open Beta, yeah probably not the best recommend for a fair deal of people.
