Gentoo for my workstation because I need flexibility, security and stability there and Debian stable for my Raspberries running all the services I need 24/7 access to.
I don't like all the spin-offs of the major distros. And no, Ubuntu is not a major distro it is based on Debian and they are known for some really bad decisions in past and present, eg: snap instead of flatpak.
Does this game have support for the xbox 360 controller? If yes, you can try xboxdrv. It requires some manual config in a text file and you need to unload the dualsense driver before starting xboxdrv and the Steam client.
I have very good results in Elite Dangerous on Linux which has no Dualsense support at all.
I have used xss-lock with i3lock in the past with success. It makes sure that systemd-logind notifies over dbus when entering hibernation so that xss-lock starts the configured lockscreen.
Before that I had a script which locks manually and then calls systemctl hibernate.
Currently I am on Gnome, but I want to transition back to a more minimalistic DE like niri. Then I have to look on the options again to reliably lock my screen.
Since my question, Gentoo has changed in a favourable way. Guess what, I did not have the time to switch somewhere else. Enabling the binary repository for my existing Gentoo install was easy.
Once again I have zero complaints and I can stay on Gentoo. Updates don't take ages anymore. (:
I daily-drive Gentoo on my main rig. A binary-repository exists now. You can still decide where you want different use-flag settings and save a lot compile time.
Only for machines I don't actively use (servers) or rarely use, I have Debian stable installed.
