    I’m seriously considering switching, but every thread about how ‘easy’ it is always devolves into a bunch of arcane computer-speak that I’m really not interested in learning at this point. I really just use my PC for web browsing and simracing/gaming these days, and I don’t want to need a computer science degree to do that.

    Come on debian, maybe we can make it back into the top 5 when trixie gets an official release.

      People generally want something closer to cutting edge / bleeding edge for games. Can’t be waiting 6 months for graphics drivers that fix an issue in a game you are playing today.

      Debian is great but it’s not really ideal for gaming. Way out of date mesa and kernel packages.

        True enough — but for those few who enjoy such things I must point out that debian makes kernel builds very easy to do. When mesa gets too old there will usually be a backport.
