Is anyone using Debian Sid for gaming? (lemmy.world)

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??

This is encouraging. I do have somewhat older hardware but you are right. Even updating the kernel for update sake in other distros don’t seem to bring me visible value other than just updating to the lasers available.
