Hans, Do you recall the step by steps that you used to do your backports and Steam installation? For example to run steam, generally the 386 components are installed by: usermod -a -G video,audio [myusername] dpkg --add-architecture i386 aptitude update && aptitude install steam I guess I would install backports before doing this? And what backports do you install, just linux-image-amd64, or also nvidia-detect and whatever video driver nvidia-detect suggests? Or maybe even more packages? Maybe you use backports for Steam too? If you can provide a step by step process for setting up a clean build ready for gaming on an Nvidia Bookworm, I would be quite interested in giving it a try.

I guess there is some learning curve while you learn basics about flying. I am a bit busy for now, but hopefully later on. > > My CPU is an older AMD FX with 6 cores. 3,4GHz clock.
