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.

Well, the thing is I don't have Nvidia gpu but it is a general rule since LMDE doesn't ship with the driver manager as the "regular" Mint does.
That's because it doesn't need to use the Ubuntu drivers. I'm pretty sure it's intentional (if a bit less user friendly). I wish distros could come up with a universal(ish) driver app.
