Arch vs Debian for gaming?

Linux Gaming@level-up.zoneEnglish · 10 months ago

For the last 1.2 years (2.5 if you count the dualbooting times) I have been using Ubuntu as my daily driver. I am thinking of changing to Arch, just to colourise my knowledge of Linux.

One of the main things that requires a lot of performance on my PC is gaming. It would be nice to have a similar experience at least.

Installation will not be a problem. In fact, I will install Arch the hard way, as I already did once in a VM and I installed Gentoo a few times to go with it.

Thanks!
