Debian and KDE are a great combination and things have been running very smoothly so far. I think I have officially converted.

    Discover works out-of-the-box? And do the drivers work correctly?

    I myself would like to switch to Debian from Neon but I recently tried and the installation of the proprietary Nvidia drivers damaged my video input, and the open source drivers don’t have anywhere near the performance that the proprietary drivers have.

      I couldn’t get the proprietary nvidia drivers to work with any wayland implementation except weston. Cinnamon worked fine, Plasma X11 worked but was unstable. I eventually gave up and fell back to nouveau and now Plasma wayland works A-okay.

      Also I was not impressed with discover. It works, but it’s kind of slow and I didn’t really see an advantage over aptitude

      edit: meant to specify that I was using the 500 series drivers that are new enough to support GBM, that’s pretty important
