  • It’s definitely a good thing if you’re interested and knowledgeable enough to build what you want. I was just arguing it’s not the best choice for a casual user because a lot things they’ll want won’t work out of the box.

    Even updating to the next stable Debian version requires editing system files and running the command line.

    Drivers can matter quite a bit if for example you’re on an Nvidia card and the Debian drivers are 2 years old. It happened to me and caused dlss to not work in some games. And with Nvidia you can’t just move to testing, you need to backport the driversc and that’s quite involved.

    I run a Debian server and it’s amazing for that.


  • You don’t need to manage the exe files. Just install heroic launcher. You can access and install your whole GOG library from there, and you can configure each game with different versions of wine or proton, if you need to. It also integrates with Epic and you can easily add games to Steam as well if needed.

    You can even sync the game saves with the GOG cloud, although last time I tried the save sync was a bit clunky.







  • With steam for me it took longer to connect, it was harder to set up and the stream itself had noticeable artifacts and lag.

    With sunshine & moonlight my lag is 1 ms, it connects instantly and I can stream in 4K HDR. Like I said it’s so high quality that I often forget I’m streaming the game.

    Plus moonlight is free and open source. Takes maybe 5-10 mins to set up. I was skeptical because it’s FOSS, but it’s easily the streaming solution I’ve tried for gaming.

    This is on Windows over LAN, I haven’t tried it over the internet.
