Debian gamer here :) very good guide to get started!
Been playing around with ZFS on Root with Debian Stable - great for gaming so far, especially being able to set the caseinsensitive property for modding Windows games in my Lutris folder.
ZFS on debian works great, I did many clusters and big pools with CentOS and many other distros, but debian and Centos were the only super fast ones with zfs+iscsi plus samba modified versions. I recommend that you use it for everything. I had bad colleagues sabotaging the linux servers, and they never died on me for like 6 years. Also the raid arrays where made with areca raid cards, but, we catch a guy basically pulling hard drives out of the servers trying to fk the pool. And never lose info.
Finally some one gets Debian 12 to play games
BTW, you can use KDE's Partition Manager to mount partitions... Launch KDE Partition manager:
1. Select device (drive) in the left hand column
2. Right click on the desired partition shown in the graphical bar and select Edit Mount Point
3. Select the desired mount path (and any other options) and click OK.
4. KPM will then prompt to update the /etc/fstab file
Debian sid wil install Nvidia 525 drivers. With adding debian Experimental to your source.list and use preferences to install specific Nvidia 535 drivers. This is how I use Debian sid.
Im using fedora 40 for gaming right now and its absolutely fantastic
Distro challenged can you game on every distro for 2 weeks and stream?
I'm surprised the use of Fedora and Debian has become a recent trend and coincidentally I also happen to be using Fedora and Debian on separate machines. Fedora is on my Acer Nitro 5 which I've had for over a year and Debian is on my souped-up HP 8200 Elite SFF which is an old machine that runs Windows 10 surprisingly well but that 5-year-old installation has gotten so bloated and Windows 10 will expire relatively soon anyway, not to mention it doesn't have TPM or other such requirements for Windows 11 so I might as well make it a pure Linux machine.
Before Fedora, I always Ran Debian. It's stable and robust and if you want it to be more on the bleeding edge you just switch to the sid repo.
I tried Debian 12 bookworm and it worked well for playing. Sadly as I didn't want to "rape" the debian phylosophy, and install foreign kernels or drivers, it was not the fastest disto to play with. But this experience was quite nice. I didn't play again with SID and testing , because I've done once and destroyed a full working distro.
I use Debian but Stable not SID to play the one and only game I play, and on GNOME not KDE :) but needed to change default new Wayland to old X11, so it is smoother and mouse is somehow more accurate and responsive.
hi do you like more kde or gnome with task bar which looks like kde?
Kde plasma
omg video shout out les go
Omg WOAH 😲
I want to game (amd gpu) but on a Debian based distro and with KDE . Should i use Debian or Mint with replacing cinnamon or some other option (not ubuntu 💀) I'm worried about Debian giving me issues with outdated packages in the future.
If you use flatpak then you can get the latest mesa packages, mint would be easier if you want the latest system mesa as you can swap it out for kisak mesa while on debian you cant or you would need to switch to debian testing to get it.
Hey mate I have been trying to play silkroad specially called P-Sro on debian kde i have tried using wine , proton and lutris as well but couldn't make it work i need someone to guide me or tell me how to use it and to be honest that's the only thing holding me up to switch from windows to linux ..
Is Sparkylinux KDE (Debian Testing) any good..?
I dont know never heard of it but its probs fine, im using opensuse tumbleweed now lol
hi mate, how did you resolve the problem with those W: errors when doing sudo apt update
I think it was to do with having the non free security repos enabled in unstable which wasnt needed so i disabled them after and it fixed the problem, let me know if it was something else
thanks@@linuxnext
Hi, currently which Nvidia/AMD video cards will work perfectly with Debian + Steam?
For nvidia i recommend 20 series or above and for amd i recommend 6000s or above
Thank you. I recently purchased Overcooked 2 for my kids. Os Debian 12 stable + Steam, CPU xeon e3 1265l v3, motherboard Asus H81M-K pcie 2.0, SSD 860 evo 512gb, GPU Asus GT 1030 oc. How can I display the FPS?
@jo-vrn you can use mangohud and goverlay for configuring it, i have a short tutorial for setting it up
th-cam.com/video/KSQrfWXHPDs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=sRTJ9_2b-g5Sw_sw
Thanks for this video, do you have any ideas for how install ORIGIN platform 😢
Origin like ea? Use bottles or lutris
@@linuxnext but. Performance?
@@waso999 the performance would be the same as steam with proton, dxvk and vkd3d have overhead but if your on amd then it can be better then windows in most cases. The app works fine aswell so there are no issues
any reason you didn't just use the flatpak versions of firefox and steam?
Flatpak is just not good, it uses its own library and dependency. So it will add another bloat to our system, a thing that we linux users do not want.
If you can use the .deb or .rpm of an app, just use it over the flatpak one.
I think thats just your opinion, the majority of linux users use a mixture of flatpak and system packagss depending on what they need or want, if you need system then ok use system package managers
For me it depends on if the flatpak is maintained officially by the developer, if it is then i can be sure the app wont break and ill get consistent updates at the same time a system package would.
Im using arch now and the majority of apps are under flatpak except the browser, steam and discord, this is because the aur can be not trust worthy of a maintainer that could take longer to push a update for a app im using and this is their free time so having a official maintained package means i will get updates properly by someone that is probably getting paid to do so by that app company so flatpak is becoming the main choice for lots of normal users
@@linuxnext yes, you have a good point. But flatpak is slow. Imagine u have a system runtime that had loaded a bunch of lib and then flatpak just decided to not use it. Instead it loads another one that 'maybe' similar, causing its app to boot slower than the native one.
Then, put that logic to a gaming app. What's the point of making a 'separate-to-system' app when the app itself needs a better I/O to the system. It just doesn't make sense.
Yes this is just my opinion. I had a lot of bad experiences using flatpak, whether in a production machine or a daily desktop machine. Also i just started my linux journey last year so maybe you know more than i do.
@@Cecep91 i see, yeah with libs being not used this has changed very recently with 1.15.7 where flatpak will remove unused dependencies, usually you would have to use a app like flatsweep to remove them but not anymore
I understand your views tho, system packages can 100% be better in most cases
Apppreciate the video. How does Apex Legends run on Linux? Thinking about making the move from Windows when I get the parts for my new build. (Update: commented before I seen the gameplay lol . Question still stands though lol. How is Apex on a consistent basis? (followed on Kick 🙂
Apex runs perfectly on linux, if you get amd make sure your running the newest mesa for gaming
Apex is very consistent under proton, same goes for most games running under proton
@@linuxnext Thank you for the fast response. I am leaning more towards an AMD card as I will only have 1000 USD for the whole computers budget. Although it appears to run well with Nvidia as well. Is that correct?
@@ShSmith mmm on nvidia not so much, iv had a decent amount of weird issues under my rtx 2060, where simple upgrades break the drivers, gpl a thing that loads shaders for games doesnt work properly on some games, and the biggest one is Wayland which is a compositor that controls your monitors also has little weird quarks that just dont happen under amd especially 6000s, if you get a 7000s card you should be ok aswell with the latest kernel and mesa installed
When nvk, a open source driver for nvidia cards matures enough then nvidia cards will start to behave similar to how amd cards behave
Appprecte the detailed response! Have a good one @@linuxnext
Hey new Sub/Linux User here!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and explain it in a casual way!
Currently I'm using Nobara and I'm more than happy with it, but I want to try more traditional Distros. Debian is on my list and here is your video. I'm highly interested in Open Suse Tumbleweed, I heard Tumbleweed got all the new updates like Debian unstable and Arch, but is much more stable.
Would be awsome if you have the time to make a Open Suse gaming ready video!
I have used opensuse tumbleweed and it is fucking awesome 👍 the only issue i had is that with flatpak it uses a "user" flatpak so one of my apps doesnt work properly as it need is a system flatpak but ill move back to it again some time.
Fuck it ill install it right now lol
@@linuxnext Hahaha yeeees nice!!
I used to have a smaller /(root) partition and I prefered to install some gaming related flatpaks as user, such as Lutris or Heroic. But you warned us in one of your videos, that user flatpaks can be buggy.. I don't remember the video.
Can't wait!! Thanks for the fast reply. 😊😆
not buggy, just the apps i use needs a permission to record my screen. so user flatpak is fine as long as your not using this app im talking about which is gpu screen recorder everything else was all goods@@OraOraOra
Update opensuse doesnt use user as flatpak anymore! Its using system!
I'm currently a Mint Debian user, but installed the KDE desktop as I don't like Cinnamon. Gaming is good, although the Nvidia drivers are a bit old.
So another question, i got now everything installed, and my problem is that not only does steam flicker way to often( had the same problem with firefox and this helped MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD_PROVIDER=NVIDIA-G0 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia for the envioremnt variables) and also when i start games, atleast when they are in fullscreen, than they basicly squeezes itself? because the taskbar pops up for a second and everything flickers, this only gappens in fullscreen, so i would really like a way to fix it
Well for one i would suggest using x11 for nvidia and see if you get the same issues
Also moz enable wayland shouldnt be needed if your above firefox 121 as its enabled by default
It seems also that nv prime render environment is only supposed to be used under x11
yeah, tried using x11, but everthing feels laggy and slow, same with the games, working though, but still
@@linuxnext
@@linuxnext so i switched over to x11, and the flickering of the task bar still happens, still only in fullscreen, i could think that i soimehow have given my taskbar priority nad thats why its over it, but i dont have the problem on other applications in fullscreen, so i got no idea, i am really new to linux ^^
@@linuxnext edit: what surprsingly helped is enabling gsync, weird, i thought it would be the other way arround
few days later... Installing Arch based distro, Yeah!
Debian sid minimal install is superior than arch universe
i just want to thank you for helping the lorax.
THE TREEES!!
what use does the firmware-misc-nonfree have?
Wouldn't just be proprietary drivers, lots of laptops dont work on the free drivers for stuff like wifi
hot take you can use backports to get a more recent kernel than debian stable but still stay on stable.
Yes, i didn't know about this so id recommend people do that instead of moving to unstable or testing
@@linuxnext Well you get a thumbs up from me the tutorial is great. I'm looking forward to new content. Debian is my distro of choice so its always great to see how others show its potential. thanks for the excellent content.
hey, do you think is better Debian or Fedora?
I would say debian but its personal choice
How experienced are you in linux?
@@linuxnext I tried Arch, when I used to use it I had 2 monitors and had issue with that, only this issue was my decide to change into other distro, now I have only 1 monitor and I´m deciding to go back into Arch... Arch, Debian, Fedora.. this 3 distro and I can´t choose
Nice guide! Can you make a video about setting up arch linux for gaming?
At some point i will yes 😂
Which distro do you recommend me for play video games?
Nobara, opensuse tumbleweed, pop os
Whats your hardware?
@@linuxnexti just want to play with better perfomance in an old laptop
ok well pop os or linux mint could be some options for new users who just want that on a old laptop @@Darkah
Are you using Sid ? Because Sid is an unstable debian
Yes
I tried to use kde iso image writer and on two different flash drives it reduced them from whatever space they came as to 9mb. Obviously I 'm new, but I never thought I'd have this much trouble with a fucking flash drive, what did I do wrong?
put in your usb. If you are on windows go to cmd run as administrator.
Type in diskpart>list disk>select disk (number which is your usb, be careful its the correct number. You can compare size of the memory) once you selected the disk type clean. Thats pretty much it. Its going to reset the usb completely. Also I recommend for you to try a universal tool. Its called ventoy. You only copy the iso. With the tool you create a bootable environment. And you can store any os iso. I have one windows and 4 linux isos. It works like any other bootable usb
I try use deb but it didn't install for some reason give me some tpm error not too sure y
Rip, i have tpm turned off so maybe that's why i don't get that
When was that exactly? Maybe its fixed now 🤔
disable TPM and secure boot in bios
Can someone help me understand why the repos for the security packages were commented out in the video?
Because its unstable, there is no testing done for unstable so you dont need them
@@linuxnext oh ok thanks for the swift reply
@@linuxnext would keeping them on cause more problems or no problems?
@@kiransubramanianpallayil5861 i think it comes up with some errors when trying to update but it doesnt affect anything
@@linuxnext ok thanks
Also, I don't know why, but after I changed my repositories to Sid and updated my system. I cannot access Wayland KDE Plasma anymore, when I try to login, my entire system just freezes on the login screen. But the moment I switch to X11, I get to log onto my laptop but it only works properly if I disconnect my external monitor. Do you K ow why by chance? Just saying, all I did was switch my repos to Sid, update the system, it gave an error that it couldnt do something with the Linux-image file, so I ran Sudo apt install -f and it fixed it. After that I upgraded and fixed some of the gnu common errors and finally I rebooted my system, then all the screen problems occured.
Did you find a way to make lethal company with mods playable? i am desperately trying since two days now 😅
R2modman
github.com/ebkr/r2modmanPlus
@@linuxnext I tried that already but I get a black screen and crash when I try to start it with mods 😅
@@ardaokay6862 how are you starting the game? Is it through steam or r2modman itself? Are you using any launch commands aswell
@@linuxnext i am starting it via the "launch with mods" button so i dont use any commands
@@ardaokay6862 well id make sure that the mods are updated and there are no conflicts with the mods your trying, maybe force compatibility on a different proton version and then try again. It works for me so im out of ways to help you, good luck!
If only there's a nobara-like debian based, i think i will switch because i dont want to install individually like lutris, mangohud, etc. i tried that before but it's pain in the ass
I think when Brodie had Glorious Eggroll on for an interview he mentioned there was a guy trying to transfer/emulate what Nobara was doing onto Deb/Ubuntu base rather than Fedora, I'm not sure if it is up and running and what it is called
@@user-dz3ph7dl4m i think its a PikaOS a Ubuntu-based i try to install but there some issues when i boot to usb
Why not switch to arch based ?💁
@@user-dz3ph7dl4m Thats PikaOS I assume, but PikaOS isn't the distro for me. They change so much every update and that borked my machine many times!

do you think linux os is better SO v Windows? on pc specs older.. with have cpu gen 3-4 ?
i would say older pcs/laptops like a cpu that is gen 3 or 4, it will better for the majority of things on linux but gaming wont be one of them @@josebalbuena439
you could play some light games but nothing demanding.
if you have a desktop gpu tho that is rather new then you can play demanding games with good performance under linux
@@linuxnext i have test linux on xeon e3-1230 v2 3gen... i have gtx 1060 6gb and 16gb ram... what distro linux do you recommend?
@@josebalbuena439 nobara linux with kde plasma
Someone got some experience with Linux and AntiCheat on Apex Legends?
The game works with eac, make sure you have the proton eac runtime installed and thats it
You can try manjaro. Its an arch based distro.
Used manjaro and its a fantastic distro. I think i would rather use xerolinux tho for arch instead but again manjaro is good, even with the bad credit it gets sometimes or interesting decisions they make
Bro this guide statted me on Debian 12 which is great. If I can correct some mistakes I've learned after this tutorial:
1st: You don't need SID it's a nightmare. Get Firefox and other extras from Flatpak or Snap. Nvidia drivers aren't worth it if they aren't tested that well, specially if the trade is that your distribution gets unstable. BTW Nvidia, F you, I got a 1080 TI and the drivers aren't that good anymore even on windows, just because it isn't the new card.
2nd: You get the W error because your source list has extra line that you copied and pasted onto it. You should have just added contrib non- free after the word main to the existing lines.
3rd: Test before making a guide, no bs, no hate. Loved your video but it worries me that a noob will get wrong info and gets a bad impression from the distro or linux as a whole.
4rd: Setup a Backup ASAP you are on SID, it breaks, not that often but when it does is BS.
5th: Keep up the good work. You are helping to expand the Linux family.
THANKS FOR INTRODUCING ME TO THIS GREAT DISTRO ❤️
Runnning Debian stable with Gnome. Best choice😂
Only problem with the non-stable versions of Debian is security updates get ported to stable first. Hence why the other branches are considered "testing" and "unstable (sid)"
Problems with Arch Linux is the distro's philosophy on stability being on the end-user entirely and the community in turn is toxic when asking for support.
Problem with RHEL-based distros (IBM, Red Hat), Ubuntu (Canonical, Snaps) , or even SUSE Linux variants itself is are the corporations evil decisions and becoming very Microsoft-like (embrace, extend, extinguish) with a notable exception for now being Valve's SteamOS 3.x+ (based on Arch Linux) considering Valve has a history of being very consumer first in most instances, but like companies, they are not perfect either and end-users should be cautious.
