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?

If you're currently running on LMDE and are enjoying it, why not just switch to the "vanilla" non-debian Mint? It should be similar enough to what you're used to, but with more up to date software.

Reading all the comments, I think I will do that since I want to stay on the same experience. Then maybe I will have another drive in the future to test Bazzite or CachyOs on.
