In the following days, I intend to reinstall my Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon.

Originally, I have thought I would go for the newly released LMDE 7 (Linux Mint Debian Edition) based on Trixie.

I only have one problem, supposedly (according my search efforts), there is no nvidia-driver-5?0 package.

What is the easiest way to install NVIDIA proprietary driver on LMDE, please? And how does it behave with kernel updates?

I really hope to get some nice solution before I try to install, thanks in any case for all answers.

LMDE uses the Debian repositories by default, with contrib, non-free, and non-free-firmware enabled, so you can install the NVIDIA drivers that are in Debian’s non-free repository.

You’ll need the kernel headers:

sudo apt install linux-headers-amd64

(assuming you’re using amd64), and the NVIDIA drivers and firmware:

sudo apt install nvidia-driver firmware-misc-nonfree

See the Debian wiki page on NVIDIA graphics drivers for details.
