No, don't use Sid. No one should run it on a system they expect to work.

Debian has 3 phases stable, testing & unstable.

Debian Unstable is the initial gate for pulling in new code, applications need to not break everything in that environment before they can be moved to testing. A freeze is periodically applied to testing and RC/Major bugs are identified/fixed and Stable is released

Sid is the naughty child in Toy Story who destroys things. Debian uses Toy Story characters to name things and so Unstable got the nickname Sid.

If you have newly released hardware you might need an updated kernel. This can be found via backports.

Similarly Mesa covers the graphics drivers, you can pull the latest from backports, again you only need to do this if your graphics card is too new.

As someone who runs Debian Stable with KDE, it works great for gaming
