I’m ditching Ubuntu. Thinking of switching to Debian.

Has anyone used this, or something similar to set up their Debian gaming setup?

This got me thinking. Do I need to install anything special to Debian 13 to be able to play games? Or can I play them with a normal Debian out of the box?

    This thing has like 2 commits by 1 person 2 months ago without any review

    I wouldn’t really trust this repo at all.

        This is the personal project of some LLM.

        It even has the common “phase” numbering and long em dashes.

          Ah I see. Man I hate how things have become now thanks to AI.

          Even YouTube videos now are made by AI with a virtual author and full AI generated animations. It’s crazy.

          The worst part is seeing my colleagues work and deliver code that they don’t even know themselves what it does because they got it from GitHub Copilot. It’s insane. I have to sit down with them to review the code so THEY know what their code does.

            I hate how people use it.

            I am a dev with 15+ years of experience and I just vibecoded some little summarization service that uses a small LLM model because I needed it and couldn’t be bothered with the python stuff for the AI part. It’s only 3 files that I double checked line by line. I posted it on github as a backup and on docker hub so I can pull it easily from wherever I want. I have not advertised it anywhere and the first three words of the readme are literally “I vibecoded this” with a note that if somebody thinks it’s useful I can start maintaining it without AI, cause I fucking can. I could have written the thing myself, and that’s the most important thing somebody should be able to do before having AI do it for them.

            I looked trough the script you posted as it might have had some interesting ideas that I could research further. It installs irqbalance which I hadn’t heard of yet. Upon further research it seems to be only good for servers and might even have negative impact on desktop installations, especially ones with 8GB RAM and lower. Nowhere does it mention anything about it.

        my experience with these kinds of hobby scripts, is that they often don’t work, and it’s more work troubleshooting it than just installing things manually

        1. Most of the script isnt applicable to any 1 setup

        2. I ain’t reading all that

        If I wanna install something Ill just install it, not run some giant monolithic script.
