I took a bunch of stuff from work that was gonna get recycled including a decent laptop and a flash drive. I work in network admin and IT if that narrows it down. Never used Linux before though.

Edit: Thanks everyone! I'm down for some problem solving so I think I'm gonna go the Arch/Manjaro direction so I can learn my way around Linux generally.

    Debian isolates proprietary software into its non-free repository, which you will need to enable for additional firmware, Nvidia drivers, Steam, etc.

    I believe this will not be true beginning with the next release of Debian, and the nonfree packages will be rolled into the free release. I mean, nvidia and steam and stuff like that will be not be from the debian repos, but proprietary firmware will be accessible.
