What was stopping the person before? I’ve been using debian as my desktop for years.

Watching the video, the main reason is native up-to-date drivers, mostly for nvidia

I’m not into videos, but yeah ok, the person had a particular obnoxious computer that they wanted to use, rather than something being wrong with debian. I always take linux compatibility into account when buying hardware in the first place.

Same: just built a frankenstein PC of spare parts gathered with the purpose of running Debian 13 on it because that’s what I love. But I also recognise that I know my way around stuff when I need to troubleshoot…

“For now”, is more like it.
This happens with every refresh 😂 6 months from now you’ll be fighting to get Mesa updated or something.

If you’re asking for problems, I suppose you could do that, but they still aren’t updated regularly. Slightly before testing releases hit. That’s nowhere near where it needs to be for gaming desktops for most people.

Backports are specifically tested for the purpose of being compatible with stable, so there should be no issues.
I can’t really comment on what what gaming desktops need, I feel like you could absolutely play games without the latest drivers at all times, but I don’t play any modern AAA games.
If you need bleeding edge software, then don’t install Debian, for sure. Or go unstable with all the potential issues.

Ugh, too true. I’m using 13 now after a long hiatus of Windows only desktops and was shocked to find KDE had undergone yet another refresh.

With flatpak and distrobox, the underlying system and package manager does not matter too much anymore to the end user.

Assuming most end users for Debian even have monitors connected…

bs-manager flatpak won’t work, the AUR version does. That’s more convincing than I’ll ever need to go back to Arch.

Some people prefer to have a game mod manager working immediately, others prefer their system working for years instead of failing to boot after an update.

And then those who want both use arch. I know we love our memes, but this one is really out of date.

I don’t get this obsession with always having the latest and greatest. I’m more of a “if it isn’t broke don’t fix it” kind of person

It turns out that there isn’t one big break, there are many small cracks that have been patched. I was reading about 13% performance increase in benchmarks, which seems significant.

More like “If it isn’t as good as it could be, don’t do anything to improve it.”

If you have an nvidia card, which is very common and can’t always be avoided, there is significant benefit in newer drivers, for one
