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.

Discover works out-of-the-box? And do the drivers work correctly?
I myself would like to switch to Debian from Neon but I recently tried and the installation of the proprietary Nvidia drivers damaged my video input, and the open source drivers don't have anywhere near the performance that the proprietary drivers have.
I couldn't get the proprietary nvidia drivers to work with any wayland implementation except weston. Cinnamon worked fine, Plasma X11 worked but was unstable. I eventually gave up and fell back to nouveau and now Plasma wayland works A-okay.
Also I was not impressed with discover. It works, but it's kind of slow and I didn't really see an advantage over aptitude
edit: meant to specify that I was using the 500 series drivers that are new enough to support GBM, that's pretty important
