Welcome to 
This portal contains links to the different Debian wiki pages regarding graphics cards and their respective driver installation processes. Almost all graphics cards have free and open-source drivers available in Debian, however some cards may have better compatibility and performance after installing proprietary drivers or proprietary firmware.
If you don't know your graphic card, visit hardware identification page to identify it, then find more information on its setup by matching it to one of the pages below.
Technical words can be used but explained.
Contents
AMD/ATI
Installation of the free AMD/ATI graphics drivers (Recommended, typically the fastest and most stable, with full OpenGL and Vulkan support)
Installation of the proprietary "AMDGPU-PRO" graphics drivers published by AMD (Unsupported, generally poorer quality, and can cause instability with later system updates. Avoid using without good reason.)
Intel
If your graphic card was manufactured in 2007 and newer, try uninstalling the xserver-xorg-video-intel package and use the builtin modesetting driver (xserver-xorg-core) instead.
For older devices: xserver-xorg-video-intel
nVidia and nouveau
#nouveau, official channel
Optimus at Nouveau wiki (this link is the recent X documentation )
Mali
General page with details on Mali GPUs, information on how to install the proprietary drivers
Information on the free and open-source Lima and Panfrost drivers for Mali GPUs
