Well I’m hopping around… again. I thought I had a good stable setup going but then something happens upstream that goes against what I want/believe in (looking at you RedHat) and I’m back on the hunt again.

I thought about trying out a Debian based distro but then I thought “why don’t I just use Debian itself (Sid, not stable/Bookworm)”.

Most if not all gaming software have a way to be installed on Debian so I don’t think that could be an issue.

Is anyone else using Sid? Am I missing something by not going with a gaming focused distro??

    I use regular bookworm with steam/Mesa/proton installed as flatpak

    Works great, 10/10

      Are you running into system access limitations? For example, mesa or proton needing to access system files, services or whatever.

        You can give flatpaks permissions for those. Flatseal is a great GUI for that if that’s your thing.
