Is anyone using Debian Sid for gaming? (lemmy.world)

Well I’m hopping around… again. I thought I had a good stable setup going but then something happens upstream that goes against what I want/believe in (looking at you RedHat) and I’m back on the hunt again.

I thought about trying out a Debian based distro but then I thought “why don’t I just use Debian itself (Sid, not stable/Bookworm)”.

Most if not all gaming software have a way to be installed on Debian so I don’t think that could be an issue.

Is anyone else using Sid? Am I missing something by not going with a gaming focused distro??

Nobara is an rpm base distro so this link goes over the changes I’m referring to. Nothing wrong with Nobara, it’s just a matter of principles for me
