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 develop a similar tool and this thing is absolute slop: it's full of obsolete settings like RADV_PERFTEST=gpl,rt (both have been unnecessary for years), broken features like FSR4 (it needs a DLL from the AMD drivers to work that this thing doesn't provide), and anticheat support is a complete lie, none of that trash will ever work in wine.

Also, I don't know why you would ever use a debian-based distro for gaming, the drivers are 6 months to 2 years out of date, you're just asking for trouble.

    I assume the LLM assume you are using either Proton-GE, Proton-EM or Proton-cachy, where this flag actually works 🤔
