I was wondering more about support of drivers and codecs etc. Is Debian after adding the non-free drivers exactly the same as Ubuntu or are there some things that are only specially available in Ubuntu? Especially also regarding things like audio/video codecs, hdmi etc.
- tpxl 3y agoI went from Ubuntu to Debian on a desktop machine. I have an nVidia 1080Ti with default drivers, running 3 displays with no problems. Motherboard audio works, USB headphones also work well. I can watch videos no problem and re-encoding/recording with ffmpeg/OBS works without a hitch. Only thing I remember doing is replacing the firefox version from ESR to latest. 10/10, would recommend over snaps.
- AnthonyMouse 3y agoThey're allegedly including the non-free stuff automatically now, but the better solution is to avoid that hardware whenever possible. Proprietary drivers tend to have more bugs because the public can't fix them, and even if they're supported now, you're at the vendor's mercy for when it stops working regardless of what Debian or Ubuntu includes.
