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.
And what are Nvidia users supposed to do?
I have never had problems with Nvidia drivers on Linux mint detects them and ask if you want to install the official drivers

Don’t be ashamed of using Debian!
Use POP OS which has NVIDIA Drivers in the iso
Or Nobara which has a dedicated Nvidia install tool in its welcome screen
It depends on your distro
I’m starting to wonder if this is a meme or if people are actually having problems.

They’re supposed to buy an AMD card, obviously. /s
I wish AMD had a competitive 4090 alternative
press two buttons after install
…to let the distro pick the best driver for you? That’s what I do at least.
