If you’re playing modern games that just released, they often need the newest graphics drivers to run well and look right. It also helps to have the most modern version of apps like Heroic Games Launcher and stuff, but Flatpak has solved that somewhat.
If anyone here games a lot, I’d recommend a more rolling release distro (or the version of Debian that updates packages quickly, forgot its name).
debian gamer here. Things suck because I have a non-muxing, bullshit on board graphics card not because of Debian. I have the same issues on Bazzite, Pika Os and Nobara
You’re probably not the gaming type, I presume.
I’ve been gaming on Debian stable for 6-7 years now; works great.

I’ve never had that be an issue in practice. The NV DC drivers cover this need quite well IME: https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers
It’s also the best route I’ve found for setting up CUDA, so two birds, one stone.
I prefer playing games, not with OS.
I game on Debian unstable daily. I don’t have the newest hardware but most things work about as well as Windows
