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.

Graphics Card Help (feddit.nl)

Can anyone help me pick out a budget friendly (sub $200) graphics card?

Doesn't have to be current generation
I won't be gaming at all on the PC
Needs to run well on Linux
Must run 3 monitors
Biggest workout it will get is streaming security cams on one screen, full screen video on another.
Power supply is only 295W and I'd rather not upgrade it.

Any help is much appreciated!

To be honest, I don't think I've ever tried to install the Nvidia drivers on Debian before. Certainly not within the last 5 years.

But my point still stands. In just about all the major desktop distros it's trivial. In fact, many of the popular distros will install the Nvidia drivers during the OS installation itself. You don't even need to do anything post-install. And other distros, like Ubuntu, it's a single click in a settings window.
