    Lets be real, Ubuntu/Arch is the way to go. Debian is just not present on gaming set ups, Arch is close to what Valve is doing and Ubuntu has like 69 downstream distros.

      Before I say anything, I think Gamer’s Nexus only testing with Bazzite makes a ton of sense. It would be silly to expect them to test with Windows S, N, Pro, LTSC, etc as well.

      Lets be real, Ubuntu/Arch is the way to go.

      The distinction between Ubuntu, Mint, and Debian are pretty minor as far as gaming goes. They are all considered the same family for a reason.

      Debian is just not present on gaming set ups

      Linux Mint (a Debian-based distro) and Ubuntu (also Debian-based) are extremely popular in gaming setups. In fact, the steam hardware survey has Mint 22.2, Ubuntu Core 22, Ubuntu 24, and Mint 22.1 as the second, third, fourth, and fifth most common Linux OSes.

        While true, the issue is that Debian release cadence is such that they will always be “behind” kernel and wine wise.

        Also they are more purist and less likely to facilitate proprietary bits. Last time I tried wine a lot of apps didn’t work because they had no work to enable non-free fints So they may have the same general packaging strategy, but the vintage of content and scope are distinctly different from more aggressive distributions.
