Thanks for the detailed explanation i accually didnt know about the man command makes sense though As for apt and apt-upgrade i didnt accually know apt-upgrade existed but that is good to know as for the shell im not that intimidated by it ive used command prompt plenty of times in windows and when trying other different distros one question i remember getting nvidia drivers installed being somewhat dificult on linux is this still the case or has something changed?

I think it largely depends on the distro. There are two nvidia drivers: the official one which generally works better and nouveau, which is open source.

The instructions from the Debian wiki seem to be pretty thorough. Barring any driver issues, it should just be editing one file to add non-foss repos and installing the drivers through the package manager.
