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?

when people say Debian is stable they mean the base platform isn't going to change under you and suddenly a config file doesn't work anymore because Package v2.0 uses a different format.

Yes, that's how a stable release cycle works and not at all specific to Debian. Also, not at all what you said before:

That means not changing broken software to be newer working software.

Obviously it doesn't get updates as quickly as a rolling release would, bit this just isn't true.
