Hi,

For the laptop - a clean install with nouveau _should_ work. Forget the
Nvidia proprietary driver - it's no longer supported by them and if the
Debian-packaged version is also obsolescent that's the end of it.

Linux Mint current version is based on Ubuntu 22.04 - so is also
unlikely to have the drivers now. LMDE is based on Bookworm.
The favoured desktop for Mint has always been Cinnamon, I think.

Some older Nvidia cards for the desktop work relatively well with
nouveau - I've got a 1050ti and a 1060? in two machines here which work
well enough under GNOME.

The above is my usual go-to for Debian and Nvidia too

Good luck and best wishes, however it all works out
