    I game without problems on Debian Stable for years. Everyone keeps saying that and I didnt have a single problem because of “old packages”

      It depends on the games you play and how long you wait after a game’s release. Maybe if your GPU is from NVIDIA, AMD/Radeon or Intel. I use Ubuntu LTS on my main PC and every once in a while, there is a game that just doesn’t work until I install newer drivers and kernels (the newer packages get automatically disabled when you do a major version update, so I can test this about every 2 years). I have no reason to believe that this would be any different on Debian stable.

      You likely have old hardware and play old games. Which is fine on Debian.

      Try playing day 1 releases of major titles on brand new hardware weeks after it releases.

      It’s not fun.
