Watched a video about Debian and now I am not sure is the best for me. (lemmy.world)

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?

Thanks for the suggestion.

I just tried following the tutorial and... it only made me more proficient at using Timeshift.

To be exact, it prompted me to create a xorg.conf file, which apparently is not in my system. I accepted and it brought me to a black screen with a black screen that remained there for 5 minutes. I force rebooted the machine and it failed to launch lightdm.service.

So USB, Timeshift and back we are.

I am afraid I am not at your level yet. Been stable on Linux since only a few months.

Thanks again though, at least I know it exists.
