Linux Furs

I have an HP Victus laptop that I'm trying to get to fully work. It has two GPUs. The integrated is an AMD and the discrete is an Nvidia. For about a month I've been attempting to get Debian 12 to see and use the Nvidia card. My knowledge on anything Linux is not strong.

I got as far as getting the proprietary driver loaded. I just couldn't get anything to side load it when I launched anything.

I've stepped back a bit, and started to wonder if I'd have a better experience if I tried a different distro. I've heard some are better for multi-GPU situations like Manjaro.

So I guess I'm asking everyone if I should try jumping distros for this AMD/Nvidia situation?
