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.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
