Title pretty much says it all. I’ve been using ubuntu as my daily driver for the last 5 years or so and honestly, I’ve had a wonderful experience with it.
That said, with the way things are going, I feel like its only a matter of time before Canonical pulls the rug out so I’d like to at least get my feet wet with something other than Ubuntu and Debian seems like the logical choice.
I mainly use my machines for gaming, self hosting, programming, and weird networking projects/automation testing.
I’ve heard gaming on debian isnt as ‘out of the box’ as it is with Ubuntu. So I’m hoping somone with more experience can share some tips on what I should be looking out for or point me to some good guides. Thanks yall.
EDIT: I fucking love this community. Thank you all for your replies. I appreciate you taking the time to help me out.
I doubt you would need any tips, also right now Bookworm is closer to upstream than Ubuntu, so it’s better fit for gaming sans some niche missing package scenarios that won’t matter if you heavily rely on flatpaks.
The only major thing Ubuntu has over Debian is the normie friendly graphical , but it’s not great so /shrug .
Also Canonical is not going to pull the plug, that’s one thing you don’t really have to worry about, unless they sell the company.
