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?

+1 for OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

I had noob problems with so many distros, and Tumbleweed gave me the least problems getting started. Good GUI based control with Discover and YAST. OpenSUSE really doesn't seem to get recommended enough.

I follow the channel OP linked and he's had a similarly positive opinion of Tumbleweed (2 years ago).
