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 currently running on Debian Stable, but I was running on Debian Testing until Debian 12 released. RX 6700 XT + i5 11400f. I use debs for most things and Flatpak for everything that I can’t find on repo.

    I had no more or less issues on it than any other distro, I’ve never really had anything break but of course YMMV.

    As a side note, I’d recommend trying Stable as well to see if it works well enough for you, then moving to testing if it doesn’t. As long as the performance is fine enough for you, it’s really nice having the system not really change since I only have to get a game working once, and it just keeps working exactly the same until the next Debian version with no surprises.
