This can usually be fixed by enabling Debian Backports. In some cases, it doesn't even need fixing, because userland drivers like Mesa can be included in the runtimes provided by Steam, Flatpak, etc.

Once set up, Debian is a very low-maintenance system that respects my time, and I love it for that.
