A few days ago I published my Debian setup for gaming. Let me know if anything in there doesn’t make sense or could be improved!

      Yeah it’s quite ice. I opened an account a while ago after reading about it on Hacker News but I don’t really write much these days.

      The fact that I have everything in git and a Makefile that doesn’t let me forget how to publish stuff helps to just write when I get the itch.

    I run a bog standard bookworm + kde. Only needed to update kernel from backports when I replaced my aging 1060 with an rx6750xt for more recent amdgpu firmware. Games run just fine. Solid as a rock.

    This is fantastic! I recently installed Debian after not having tried it for years, and was wondering what the best way to get things such as newer versions of Mesa is.

    In your article you brought up alternative Kernel options, from what I’ve always been told these kernels don’t really make a massive difference than the regular kernel. Do you have any experience with the ones you mentioned, and if so did either have an actual impact for you?

    Additionally, since I’ve only recently started using AMD cards (took me a bit to scrape up the money to move over from Nvidia, but it has been done thankfully) are there any details on what the additional firmware components add on? I have a 6700 XT so I’m not sure if that counts as being new enough to need them (I suspect it doesn’t but figured I’d check).
