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?

It's not really renaming. It's just that the big distros have different naming conventions, and documentation often uses the names used either by Fedora/Redhat or Debian/Ubuntu.
