Set up Nvidia-xrun with ease.
Check the Arch Wiki for nvidia-xrun instructions. Debian is a good alternative if you prefer it over Ubuntu, especially since you're an NVIDIA user.
Requirements for Arch won't apply to any Debian-based system. Even though they have separate package managers, they still rely on somewhat different paths for certain files. When comparing Debian and Ubuntu, it really comes down to your needs. Ubuntu follows a continuous release model, offering quicker updates but sometimes sacrificing stability. Debian maintains a more stable, long-term approach, keeping essential components like the DM and kernel ahead of newer versions. You can ease the impact by choosing an LTS version of Ubuntu, though it won’t be identical. My perspective is that for servers meant for long-term operation, stick with Debian. For hobbyist or experimentation setups, Ubuntu LTS works well. If you're using a desktop and want the latest features, go with the newest Ubuntu release. In my experience, Ubuntu has a broader support network for troubleshooting compared to Debian, though many instructions overlap between the two.
I assume you're aiming to simplify the process of setting up the nVidia driver. Please specify the card model you're using. Consider starting with a Debian-based distro such as antiX and follow the recommended installation steps, including running root for script installation.
