Yes this has been asked and answered a million times I’m sure. There is a plethora of ‘top ten distros for Linux gaming’ lists out there and the majority of posts I can find on That Other Site seem to devolve into “every distro can do games”.

I’m interested in what you are using and your experience doing so. Any gotchas you wished you knew? Anything you tried that didn’t work, or anything that worked unexpectedly well? What would you say if your friend asked this over a few pints down the pub?

Debian Bookworm

I run AMD kit (not the latest) and install the KDE desktop, Steam and Crossover.

I choose Debian because its packaged extremely well and I want an OS/Applications to be things that just work.

The only bugs I suffer are Proton issues playing Windows games and the recent steam ui update doesn't seem to work with steam link from a wayland desktop (has to be x11).
