I’m on arch currently (with an RX 7600 and R5 3600) and its a good experience, but I find myself wanting many of the .deb packages available on Debian, and trawling the AUR makes me nervous
would Debian testing give me a good gaming experience? I run all of my packages off of flatpak anyway, and would continue to do so on Debian
I’m just a casual gamer but I use Debian stable and I’ve had very few problems. I think a lot of people believe that Debian stable is too old to be usable but steam works flawlessly. At least in my experience.
If you want deb packages on arch, you can try use debian container through distrobox.
I used to run debian testing, but as the branch name implies you will experience the occasional break. If you’re doing straight gaming, Arch seems like the distro to be on. I game and work (dev stuff) on my machines so I run pop_os (with xanmod kernel).
honestly arch has treated me well, its just that I’m having a certified arch moment trying to get a VPN working and thought about how much easier it is on other distros that dont throw you to the terminal dogs
