    Not true, AMD works out of the box with almost every distro. Nvidia doesn’t work out of the box on a lot (Debian for example)

        Debian doesn’t push the responsibility to the user to finish setting things up though, it is designed to be complete out of the box, especially since Debian 12.

        For what it’s worth on my computer with a GTX 1650 and Debian 12, I am unable to use Wayland at all as the drivers simply do not work (yes, this is the nvidia-driver package, not nouveau). On Plasma, everything seems to move at a snail’s pace, and on GNOME the desktop is constantly flickering and showing old portions of the screen. X11 is perfectly fine though.

        On my cheap laptop with integrated AMD graphics though? Debian 12 with Wayland works like a charm and has no issues.

        So, I’m going with nvidia being the problem here.

      It does work with the nouveau driver and will display your desktop just fine.

      If you want to play GTA, just add the nVidia repo that literally every distribution has.
