It’s a lot harder to get Nvidia drivers working on Debian than any other distro I’ve tried including Arch and including Gentoo. Every issue besides that one I’ve ever had in Debian, I was able to fix.
I’m about to get a chance to try it on a different pc (M5A am3 with a Titan X), but on a x79 motherboard and a 1080ti, that doesn’t work. After installing that, I do get the Nvidia x server but when I open the program, it’s an empty window and something is obviously broken. I installed Arch on the same pc and it was even easier to get Nvidia drivers working than on Ubuntu.
Debian is for people who have shit to get done and don’t care about a neon colored wallpaper, mostly don’t have a wallpaper at all.
Default wallpaper FTW

How so? If you have non-free enabled, shouldn’t
