I'm ditching Ubuntu. Thinking of switching to Debian.

Has anyone used this, or something similar to set up their Debian gaming setup?

This got me thinking. Do I need to install anything special to Debian 13 to be able to play games? Or can I play them with a normal Debian out of the box?

I have been using PikaOS for over a year. It has broken twice for me. Once the latest wine package stopping launching games (downgraded wine to fix), and one time monitor not detecting correct edid (had to resort to display port for a while), but both of them got resolved eventually.
