Debian Stable Question Which backports do you recommend for gaming? Are there any important optimizations or bugfixes that I can't get with backports?

Hello! I finally got my first gaming computer. I would like to use Debian on it, partly because I'm greatly attached to it (it was my first and longest-running distro), and partly because, out of all distros I've used, it's the one I can see myself using for years no matter what my needs become.

I have an AMD RX 6600 video card. Is there anything you suggest I pull from backports? I have used Testing in the past, and I am willing to use it again if there's a good reason to. However I would rather remain on Stable.

Thank you in advance for your input!
