Drivers are 535 on stable, cf https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers so it’s definitely not the very latest yet even though drivers are important I doubt (and please share benchmarks if I’m way off) there is a radical performance difference.
Oh I’m not advocating that you switch distributions. If you’re happy with performance there’s no reason to change.
The only thing that gives me pause with outdated drivers is the possibility of being exposed to unpatched security vulnerabilities. But in my experience Debian does provide updates when it’s critical.
Yeah I’m thinking bout trying something new because Nvidia just put out new drives to fix a security issue but mint hasn’t seemed to update the driver manager.
Theres a difference between stable and outdated. Generally bleeding edge will introduce many more vulnerabilities than will go unnoticed in stable.
Debian is known (almost exclusively) for only updating their repo when they’re certain it is safe, but also rapidly pushing security patches; its a server oriented distro where security is paramount.
