A few days ago I published my Debian setup for gaming. Let me know if anything in there doesn’t make sense or could be improved!
I take that as my fallback solution when my Nobara installation’s stability problems overwhelm me again. Maybe switching OS at some point.
However, you just covered the most important / critical part: the basics. The rest of the setup must still have been some tedious work.
This is prety much it actually.
I did do a lot more stuff but only things specific to my personal setup, like having the games on a separate Btrfs partition which can be mounted from other OSs, that kind of stuff.
Assumin all one wants to do is install a few games from Steam, once the setup I described is done, everything is an
apt install steamaway.
nice. this gives me the incentive to continue down that path. already have one TB SSD for if, not hard to add a second
