Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 59000 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.

First time trying Linux as a desktop distro, I’m going to be running Debian. Can’t wait to see how games perform on it.
Hello fellow Debian user.
I would like to inform you that Debian is a great choice!
If you whole intent is gaming, I recommend getting the Testing discs since Debian (Stable) apps can go outdated pretty quickly.
If you don't mind older apps and such, then a standard disc should do just fine.
If you need help, feel free to contact me on Matrix! Bye!
What's the diffrence?
I game on stable, mostly through Steam, what is it that you upgraded to testing for?
I used to be on testing (Bookworm) until they switched.
I mainly was on testing for newer packages.
Still rocking bookworm!
