I have just watched this video and in it 2 things are said that made my Linux newbie heart sink:

  • Debian 13 is not going to get the latest versions of Nvidia drivers and there are better distros for us.
  • Debian in general is not meant to run on the latest hardware.

I am on a regularly upgraded desktop tower gaming PC and currently I have an Nvidia card and an Intel CPU (which, I know, even just because of the mobo chipset is not a great choice).

In this conditions and wanting to invest even more in gaming and new hardware in the future, what should I run on, instead of LMDE 6?

    when people say Debian is stable they mean the base platform isn’t going to change under you and suddenly a config file doesn’t work anymore because Package v2.0 uses a different format.

    Yes, that’s how a stable release cycle works and not at all specific to Debian. Also, not at all what you said before:

    That means not changing broken software to be newer working software.

    Obviously it doesn’t get updates as quickly as a rolling release would, bit this just isn’t true.
