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?

    You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Debian stable is not the same as Debian testing or Debian unstable.

    You want to run bleeding edge hardware, you'll need to run bleeding edge software, which you'll find in Debian unstable.

    Debian unstable and Debian testing aren't meant for daily use, I'm not sure why you're even bringing them up.

    Debian Unstable (also known by its codename "Sid") is not a release, but rather the development version of the Debian distribution containing the latest packages that have been introduced into Debian. It is not a "rolling release", as no release-like quality assurance and integration testing is done on it.

    You need some amount of testing because packages do break, the 2 week testing window on arch is really important in making sure your pc can at least boot.
