I'd bet Ubuntu will backpaddle. Wonder what Valve would do then, though.

Quoting: TermyBut i highly doubt the alternative will be Debian, much to conservative with new versions. And packing a PPA with recent Kernels and Mesa for Debian seems kind of the wrong way.

Debian already does, it's called backports repository.

I can't compare to other distributions, but IMHO having Debian stable with new-enough drivers ain't hard.

Quoting: ixnariArch is out of the question. Fedora's better, but I feel it's still a bit too advanced for beginners. Maybe Debian or something Debian-based like MX Linux?

Good question. I like my Debian, but wouldn't recommend it to beginners.

Solus?
Elementary?
Deepin?

Quoting: no_information_hereEdit: Just checking and it looks like most of those work fine. Hmm. Does anyone have any comments on the KDE Debian spin?

Running Debian with KDE for, dunno, two decades? Sure worth a try.

Quoting: slaapliedjewith the debian-multimedia repo,

Is there still such a thing? I remember big problems with the "usual" Debian multimedia site, and living fine without it since then.

Quoting: VodkaChickenIs there a Debian (stable) repo for more recent kernels and nvidia drivers or would I have to install that sort of stuff manually? Maybe it's finally time to give in to the Arch menace.

At the moment, you should install the upcoming stable (buster), which will officially release in some weeks. I'm living fine with Debian stable plus backports repo. Others prefer Debian testing, which is rolling.

Quoting: GuestThe only thing that was revolutionary was the ability to turn my head and it would rotate the camera, that's it.

Display-wise, that is the point. After staring at a game on a monitor for decades, it felt like stepping into the game for me - because I could look around inside.

Quoting: Mountain ManYou should never pay for an unfinished product. This is just common sense.

Crowd funding made many games possible I bought and loved.
