Debian is just not going to have access to as much up to date software as it probably needs, even with testing back ports, to run well. I say this as a very long time Debian user that is really struggling in this day and age to find a place for Debian among my devices at this point.
- doodlesdev 1y agoOut of curiosity, what distribution have you been using lately instead of Debian? Anecdotally, I've been using Fedora Workstation for a few years already, and my Steam + Proton Experimental experience has been fantastic with an AMD GPU using the drivers that come with the kernel. Although I must admit, I miss having a Debian-based distribution sometimes, because in some situations I can't find rpm packages for more specific things I'm trying to do in my system. The problem is I just don't know any other distribution that's not Debian Testing that could work like Fedora Workstation but with .deb packages.

I think I have maybe 1 piece of software per thing that doesn't release a native .rpm (ghostty is one) https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/ https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/ https://terra.fyralabs.com/ https://terra.fyralabs.com/ When it comes to Steam, I go to steam -> settings -> compatibility -> Enable Steam Play for all titles I have used Nvidia GPUs and more recently switched to an AMD 6700. No issues with either.
