I'm moving away from Windows and I'm looking for distro for coding and occasional gaming. If more context is needed please let me know.

it's just my opinion, but I think because it's LTS and has a philosophy behind the OS that doesn't ring well with hardcore modding.

I kinda feel that Debian is sort of the "boomer OS" in the community; it just works, the way it works, it's the "easy route" (if it makes any sense). also, some people doesn't like APT or initd, I don't know what's up with nVidia drivers on Debian, or the support for any other super proprietary stuff.

you also don't always get the freshest of stuff with it.

I personally love Debian, but granted that I haven't tried out the whole Linux repertoire and I really don't need too exotic stuff in my life if it's about my main computer.

but to me, for developing, working, browsing the web, fuck around with documents, consuming media, networking etc etc., is more than perfect.
