What software can be used on Ubuntu but cannot be used on Debian?

Just because I can reconfigure the entire OS to work on my computer doesn't mean I want to

I think you're mistaking Debian with Arch.

It just has package for nvidia drivers. Not sure if installer will install it automatically for you (I kinda... use my install for last 12 years, just upgrading it).

For me both with AMD and NVIDIA whole hardware driver story was "install it, it works"

I'm referring to the ubuntu-drivers thing. You can do the equivalent in Debian if you add non-free repos and find the right packages, it's just more hassle. But if all you need is GPU drivers, no need for that tool.

At least Debian is on Wayland. Mint is on X11, which was causing black screen out of the box on my fairly typical PC.

Oh also, last time I used this was years ago, and I'm willing to try Debian next time I use desktop Linux now that uh things have changed
