Debian doesn't ship with proprietary drivers, so it's not a valid comparison.

You are correct in stating that Debian does not supply proprietary drivers on its installation sets. I was, however, able to get the nvidia proprietary drivers installed in about 10 minutes including download time on our somewhat slow broadband. I believe but can't confirm that the same is true for AMD drivers.

So my 'comparison' is valid: if you need stable, use an RHEL clone or Debian or openSuse.
