What's your experience with gaming using Elementary OS? (lemmy.ca)

Like the title says.

I've just been experimenting with some distros like Endeavour, POP! and Elementary. I did a little review here.

Elementary really stood out for me as one of the best looking and easiest Desktop Linux distributions so far. Its simplicity is really appealing to me and I feel it would allow me to focus on the important stuff instead of going full ADHD and constantly trying to tweak my desktop with some new widgets or customization. (KDE is horrible for that, even though I really like that environment.)

Do any of you use it as a daily and specifically for gaming? What was your experience like?

Kernel & Wayland versions matter. Elementary ships older versions than SteamOS and Nobara. I don't know how far behind if at all is EOS in relation to Debian 12.

Fair enough. I’m using Debian testing with bits of unstable and experimental added in for GPU drivers and Mesa.
