I’m looking for a distro that will be able to get the most out of my graphics on an MSI Katana laptop.
Right now I have Debian Bookworm running the Nvidia binary driver, and the graphics lags a bit compared to when this laptop had Windows 11 on it.
I’m playing Final Fantasy XIV, and doing web browsing on it.
I’d like to stay with something Debian based and running Gnome. Ubuntu is not ideal because I have trust issues with Canonical since the Amazon ad debacle back in the late 00s.
Can y’all give suggestions for a distribution that might work better, or some tweaks that might optimize the performance on Debian?
Should I just wait for Trixie and see if that give better performance?
I’m just spitballing for ideas here. Thanks in advance for any advice.
If you don’t want to stray away from Debian, then I don’t think there’s anything better than PikaOS. It’s like Nobara but based on Debian instead.
It’s a relatively small distro, community-wise. But it has been around for some time, so I trust its longevity.
Other than that, as some other have mentioned, could be Pop!_OS.
If you’re willing to stray away from Debian, then a lot of other options become available. But I digress.
I’ll check this out tonight when I get home. Thanks!
