I’ve used debian on and off since the late 90s, what stands out about bookworm? They’ve been mostly the same to me, not that that’s a bad thing.

Yikes. Was this ever resolved? That was from march last year.

On the other hand if you grab the Pop OS nvidia iso, I bet it’ll just work. Had no issues with Mint either, other than having to install the driver. Based on recent installs I’ve done with a 3080.
