Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 59000 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.

It would be useful to get some more info.
how did you install the drivers?
what do you mean by lightdm doesn't work?
can you get some logs from a terminal? Like journalctl -xe? If your gui isnt coming up you could get these from tty1 by using ctrl+alt+f1.
I haven't used nvidia in a long time but use debian daily. I'd expect if you installed the drivers using a supported method it would do stuff like initramfs etc automatically if required.
I'm sure you already found this but just in case here is the official documentation; https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers
