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?

I'd recommend Fedora if you want stable and modern hardware support.

Isn't Bazzite based on Fedora?

It is, and it's amazing for gaming

Honestly I think the utility beyond gaming is totally undersold:

  • automatic background updates ( system and flatpaks)
  • ujust singular commands for common tasks
  • All of what really should be mandatory software out of the box, including some huge QoL extensions
  • Bazaar package manager

It really fixes a lot of Linux's shortcomings, in my opinion.

Yes, I believe so.

yeah but you install your software via cringepak (bloat) or shitty rpm-ostree and nothing is as well documented vs traditional distros

That should be fine since I am planning to put it in its own partition and maybe disk, isolated from my main driver that would be Vanilla Mint, no?
