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?

    First of all, no, youre not a noob, the corrent Name for people who contradict their own statements in less than 2 minutes of reading their Text (first you say you run Debian, them you say you are running Mint, which are completely different distros), is A stupid dummy dummy dumb dumb. (Seriously, .ml mods, you either let me say the R word, or you insta block such braindead clumps of biomass)

    Second, LMDE still has newer packaged than vanilla Debian, afaik

    Third, did you not take a single look at debians Home page, before installing something you yourself call Debian? It literally States that it is a „Stable OS”.

    Fourth, if you dont want to overwork your single braincell, just use flatpaks. They already have their own drivers in their Sandbox, so you should be fine.

      Asking the others, since I don’t think you are up for a conversation with me: is it a wild guess to imagine that the high chance to receive this kind of comments is the reason why Linux doesn’t have a wider penetration on the consumer market?

      I know the alternative of a call center slave from India for Microsoft is not exactly the most appealing, but anything is better than this, in my opinion.

      I am in since a few months, as stated in one of the comments, and it is already the 4th or 5th time I get someone responding in this way.

        For the most part its because most people who are in such Forums know way more about Linux than the Indian call center, and would much more like to think about real questions, such as actual comparisons between software and specific appliances.

        The Questions you are asking had already been answered hundreds of times in other threads. There are whole megathreads about these Questions.

        People have thrown hundreds of hours into writing Wiki pages so you can choose what distribution is for you based on literal essays, if not even longer, detailing the exact philosophy of every distribution, what it is for, what it isn’t for, and what to expect from it.

        Yet you choose to disregard those works from people, instead deciding to ask for yet another Tl;Dr, because you just can’t be bothered to type your Question into searXng or Reddit or Kagi or even frickin’ ChatGPT, which would all be able to answer it.

        No, not even that. You can’t even be bothered to do the bare minimum and offer actual information to the people trying to help you in their free time, making them have to painfully dig through your pile of horsecrap until they even understand what it is you want help with.
