I’ve been seriously looking to migrate away from Windows’s grip recently and I’ve laid my eyes on LMDE, as it seems like a simple and stable distro (I’m a total beginner in Linux/Unix). However, I have a laptop with an NVIDIA integrated graphics card, and given NVIDIA’s record, I’m worried about compatibility issues given that LMDE is Debian-based. Can anyone shine me some light on this? Thanks!

    I’ve been dual-booting Windows 11 and LMDE for a few months now on seperate drives. I’ve got secure boot enabled and have a Nvidia GPU. I’ve only had to go on Windows once to play a game from the Xbox app(I still have an active gamepads subscription) with my friends online.

    It’s been working fine for the most part. I haven’t been able to get a second monitor to work properly again after disabling it in nvidia-settings shortly after installation. This has been a minor annoyance that I’m sure I could figure out with some effort.
