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?

    I knew which video you were talking about before I even clicked the link.

    Don’t use Debian for a gaming PC. Period.

    Stick with an Ubuntu derivative like Mint or Kubuntu. It’s your best bet.

    If you want a gaming exclusive platform, you might want to check out Bazzite as well. But the *buntus are best IMO.

      Why? I run Debian on my computer with absolutely no issues gaming.

      Stick with an Ubuntu derivative like Mint or Kubuntu. It’s your best bet.

      These are all derivatives of Debian in the end.
