Hello,
Does anyone know of a listing of Debian compatible graphics cards or cards that will work with Linux in general.
Thanks,

Re: Debian compatible graphics cards
Debian supports most graphics cards. Really old ones over maybe 15 or 20 years old may be a problem. Some older Nvidia cards are not supported by the latest proprietary drivers but may have a legacy driver available, and alternatively may often work fine under the open-source Nouveau driver.
Bleeding-edge cards may require newer drivers and other graphics stack components like Mesa than are available in Stable.
AMD cards are often reported to be less problematic but that doesn't mean zero problems.
I have always had Nvidia cards myself and generally they have been problem-free. Don't believe everyone who says "Nvidia bad, AMD good", it's more nuanced than that!
Answering your question more directly, I don't think there is such a list.

Re: Debian compatible graphics cards
One may be able to reference lists detailing systems on which only Linux is generally deployed.
