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??
Instead of relying on testing directly, consider using named releases (in this case, trixie for testing). Then stay on the official release for a couple months as testing stabilizes and then go to the next testing release.
I did that in the past and it worked really well. Testing gets a lot of churn right after a release as packages get rapidly upgraded, so I find it’s usually better to wait a bit.
