If you're into primarily gaming, try PikaOS. It's Debian based and uses the same tooling, but it's on an optimized kernel. Is generally geared toward gaming.

There are other gaming specific distros of course, this is just the "Debian"-related one. I would not recommend the real debian if you're mainly into gaming. It'll need manual intervention and/or optimization to get games running, or at least get them running well. It's not impossible (it even hard if you've got but is Linux experience), but just harder than necessary.
