It's kinda difficult to say what is better and what is not, but as Ubuntu is the distro that devs usually use for testing, I find a little difficult to think that Debian based distros are not for gaming. Also, keep in mind that being bleeding edge doesn't mean stable or on top of performance as you can always have regressions, In fact you can update in other distros, of course the package updates normally aren't oficial, but yet you can get in to the latest performance improvements. wrong.Įven though you update a few libraries and your graphics drivers, most of the other system components will be still outdated, thus not giving you the best experience.Īll Linux distros that are based on versions (such as Debian) will NEVER have their components fully updated.Īrch Linux doesn't have any version, because the components are updated as long as they release a new version of each single package, including the kernel or system-critical components. Автор сообщения: Melody~You may say that you can update your graphics drivers and your graphics libraries in other distros as well. I'm genuinelly curious about this apparent rise in adoption for common uses but so far the reasons eluded me. Since there has been a lot of people talking about Kali on Steam on Linux and others complaing about issues with Steam on Kali recently (meaning also a lot of people trying to use it for that), could I ask you why/how did you choose that distro?Īlso, the point you made about it being Debian-based is valid for many other Debian-based distros (and Debian itself) so what else did you see on that specific distro that made it interesting to you? If you are a reporter, activist, leak source, privacy freak or whatever just have Steam run from a different PC than the one used for safe comm, thats the best way to go about conciliating gaming with those. This makes for a very large extra attack surface for someone trying to breach into you system, and for very easy tracking from intercepted signals. dont use Steam on Kali! Its a seriously unnecessary risk since it downloads lots of closed source executables (the games), runs all kinds of statistics about the host system (telemetry), phones home all the time about those data and hosts a lot of runtime libraries that it can use instead of the ones provided by the host system, some newer, some older, some just different, maybe some with security breaches, obviously not under Kali's full control. If you truly need Kali for safety and privacy issues, well. For people recently comming to Linux, Linux Mint is a great choice, easy to use, wonderful design (not just aestethics), well documented, quite self explanatory, similar to windows in what is good on windows.
If you can, I recommend dumping Kali for some other Linux Distro. It is very unlikely that you will be able to use Kali on a daily basis for gaming and not run into serious issues at some point. I'm not joking about the devs, they said it themselves on the distro website. Its time for todays "Even Kali developers say its not for daily use, much less for Steam gaming" talk.Įven though it looks normal on the surface (a Desktop Environment), under the hood Kali is setup as a very safe but very locked down environment, not really suitable for daily use.
