Currently running Kali on my laptop as that’s all it was used for. Looking for something more general purpose. Mainly steam for light gaming and being able to install the tools from Kali for stuff like tryhackme. Mostly familiar with Debian, as that’s what Kali is based on, but willing to try something else. Laptop is this Acer.

    I doubt my experience was the same as everyone else but I tried to install Debian on my gaming pc a week ago and I could not get Nvidia drivers to work for anything, there were no relevant search results and no one on any message board had any ideas. I gave up and installed Arch and Nvidia drivers without making any hardware changes and it was so unexpectedly easy I still can’t believe it.

    I use Debian on my server so I was shocked that it was basically impossible to get Nvidia drivers working, at least on my chipset.

      Not sure if you were only looking for debian specific posts, but most arch or ubuntu tutorials work just fine most of the time.

      Not sure how new your card is, but i got a 3080 working… I’m on sid though. Maybe thats the difference
