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?

I've never encountered these problems with Ubuntu. And the Wayland as default?? They've only started imposing it now in 26.04. So I don't know what you're talking about.

If you use the *.10 non LTS you can expect trouble. They tell you so. I've only ever stuck to LTS versions and never had issues. It was the best distro around until now.

They made Wayland default in 17.10 and retracted it with next release. It was completely broken mess.
