How compatible is Linux Mint Debian Edition with NVIDIA drivers?
I've been seriously looking to migrate away from Windows's grip recently and I've laid my eyes on LMDE, as it seems like a simple and stable distro (I'm a total beginner in Linux/Unix). However, I have a laptop with an NVIDIA integrated graphics card, and given NVIDIA's record, I'm worried about compatibility issues given that LMDE is Debian-based. Can anyone shine me some light on this? Thanks!

May I ask why LMDE and not regular Linux Mint? In my experience, it is rock solid and handles nvidia pretty well, too
I was thinking about using something Debian-based since I love how reliable it is, though it seems I'll be better off installing regular Linux Mint.
if you are ok with an Ubuntu base (which these days is drifting further from its Debian base) then regular mint is great.
if forced...
not hating on ubuntu, its just been moving away from where I am at.
Probably gonna go with regular Mint, then. Thank you!
