LMDE didn’t install the DKMS modules on my kid’s PC, so the nVidia drivers never loaded after a new kernel got installed. I do enough tech support at work so we chucked Pop!_OS on the PC (and set it up with btrfs and timeshift-autosnap) instead. No more problems.

May not be a problem with mainline Mint, of course, but there are weirdos like me who prefer the Debian edition.

Don't be ashamed of using Debian!

They're supposed to buy an AMD card, obviously. /s

I wish AMD had a competitive 4090 alternative

Use POP OS which has NVIDIA Drivers in the iso

Or Nobara which has a dedicated Nvidia install tool in its welcome screen

...to let the distro pick the best driver for you? That's what I do at least.

I'm starting to wonder if this is a meme or if people are actually having problems.

It depends on your distro
