GODOS
Gaming on Debian
GODOS (Gaming Optimized Debian Operating System) is a lightweight, pre-configured Debian-based Linux system focused on gaming performance, stability, and simplicity. Featuring the modern and responsive KDE Plasma desktop, GODOS provides a clean and efficient user experience. It comes with Steam, Lutris, and Heroic Games Launcher pre-installed, enabling support for native Linux games, Proton/Wine titles, and Epic Games. Vulkan, Wine, and Proton are fully set up for instant gaming out of the box. GODOS uses the MX Linux Installer solely for system installation but remains a pure Debian environment post-install. It's designed for gamers who want a fast, stable, and minimal Debian-based setup. Hardware compatibility is strong, with support for game controllers and modern GPUs. Whether you're switching from Windows or setting up a dedicated Linux gaming machine, GODOS delivers a powerful and ready-to-play experience — no extra setup required.
