Questions about Debian 12 for a "causal" user. (feddit.de)

Hey Guys.

After a month of dual boot with OpenSuse, I think it's time to switch fully and use a Virtual Machine for Windows 10. I think I will settle for Debian 12 stable since I prefer Flatpaks for almost everything anyway. Tested it a little in virt manager and liked it better than Suse. But I'm not 100% sure about it. I have some questions:

  • I plan to buy a Nvidia card in the near future because I use my PC a lot for 3D art and AMD is simply not there when it comes to rendering time. So another AMD card is not a option for me. But I heard a lot of bad stuff about Nvidia and Wayland not going well together in older drivers. Is Debian 12 "new" enough for the better driver support or will it be a headache?

  • I have not much experience with virtual machines. Can I later move my Windows VM to another SSD?

  • I used the debian network installer in my test vm, is there a option to enable non-free stuff from the very beginning? Or are there better installation methods?

Thanks in advance 🙂

Best advice so far.

I work with both, debian and fedora, and if you like flatpaks then stick with fedora.

For your win 10 VM, I prefer the KVM install guide written by the creators of winapps, you might not like winapps but their KVM guide is just awesome:
