You can play games on Debian if you install Steam from Flatpak. It installs everything it needs (drivers, Proton etc.) and just works.

What about your kernel?

You don’t need the latest kernel for games to work, a recent one will do.
Debian uses LTS kernel versions, which have very good support. Debian 12 runs kernel 6.1 which will be supported until the end of 2027.

If you're using AMD you do, because that's the majority of your gpu driver.
