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 🙂

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
