palordrolap, 4 months ago Not if it's really old. My dinosaur is over 12 years old and Debian stable (on which LMDE is based) no longer officially supports my graphics card. If I want the graphics to work properly, I have to install the proprietary driver the hard way, and reinstall it every time Xorg updates. There are alternatives but all of them require more work or giving up features. (And no, I can't just buy a new computer.)
