1st) quit Ubuntu n use Debian testing, based on your hardware!

I switched from XFCE to Mate; I aways loved crazy & light desktops, like XFCE, Enlightenment, Window Maker! Simple things that DO work!!!
Maybe because flatpak is raw propaganda, and, actually immutable OS is a pipe-dream?
No tips needed; everything will work rock-solid and you'll never return to Ubuntu
Basically, I aways use an:
AdBlocker = AdBlocker Ultimate
Anti-paywall = https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clean
UltraWideo = ultrawide "support" for Disney+/Star+/Netflix/etc
Weather = just for fun, to see my local weather
Debian stable or testing, with MATE or XFCE or something crazy like WindowMaker (wmaker)!
Carbon credits/offsets = bigger Ponzi scheme than nft + cryptocurrency!!! There's none environmental protection with capitalism ruling!!! Plain & simple!
Nah; just takes time to get used to it! Awesome tool to solve dependencies problems!
Debian testing (install debian stable n change the repository to testing). Upgrade to testing...
Reboot;
After it, type, as root/su:
dpkg --add-architecture i386 && apt update
*i386 for 32 bits apps like Steam
Install the Nvidia drivers packages (check debian + Nvidia official debian documentation, piece of cake)
https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers
Reboot, fine tune the GPU/monitor config with: nvidia-settings
Install steam:
apt install steam
GG, happy gaming
that: aptitude >>>>>>> apt-get and apt
I didn't switch yet for lots of reasons, but I'll write one! Games; I lose 10%-15% FPS, when gaming on Wayland, compared to using Xorg. My hardware: Ryzen 3950 CPU, 64GB RAM, Nvidia RTX 3080, 12gb VRAM GPU! This happens on each n every game, around 10%-15% FPS loss!!!
