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?

    Debian is what you put on your grandma’s Facebook machine

    To put it in a less elitist way: you can put it on a family PC for light entertainment or for things like homework for kids

    To be perfectly clear: most people use their PC as a glorified Facebook machine.

    (it also doesn’t have to be Facebook but the concept is the same)

      Debian is what you put on a system you want to work forever with minimal maintenance. Whether that be your Grandma’s computer or my headless server.
