Come on debian, maybe we can make it back into the top 5 when trixie gets an official release.

People generally want something closer to cutting edge / bleeding edge for games. Can't be waiting 6 months for graphics drivers that fix an issue in a game you are playing today.

Debian is great but it’s not really ideal for gaming. Way out of date mesa and kernel packages.

True enough — but for those few who enjoy such things I must point out that debian makes kernel builds very easy to do. When mesa gets too old there will usually be a backport.
