There has been a lot of advances even with Nvidia in recent years. Assuming the GPU in the laptop is semi-modern (not sure if it's 10xx or 20xx and newer, but one of those), you should be able to just install any modern distro and it should just work. This is especially true for gaming focused distros (like CachyOS), which doesn't have to be used for gaming btw. They will auto-detect just fine in the installer and there is zero effort or tinkering required.

I know that. I just wanted to install the drivers strictly on Debian because I love Debian, and it’s the only distro I use. I’d been jumping around between different distros, but after falling in love with LMDE’s stability, I fell in love with Debian, and then I just switched straight to a clean install of pure debian
