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?

If you want to keep up with newer hardware and software and get the best performance out of your games, you'll want to use a distro with faster updates.

I've been using Nobara on my gaming computer for about 2 years and it's been pretty good, I get great performance in all my games.

Are you a huge fan of Debian as a base? And what Desktop environment/window manager do you prefer?
