You have no idea what you're talking about, do you? Debian works the same as Ubuntu LTS, packages are frozen to that version and a new one comes out every 2 years. Ubuntu 24.04 has newer packages than Debian 12 and Debian 13 will have newer packages next year.

well, sorta. A "stable" branch will get point releases and bug fix releases of packages.
Where it gets fricky is when the security bugfix isn't backported to your major version of a package upstream, then you might get a major version bump on a package
Enterprise distros won't even point release, they backport security patches to the package so you never get even a point release upgrade on a package.

old packages don't matter if they work
debian and mint works
mint comes with everything you need though, debian is a very lazy, incomplete OS at default
nu g thinks that's cool, but the truth is they wouldn't have used debian 3 years ago.
only since debian abandoned their principles and including proprietary wifi drivers in their install media have nu-IQfy been able to install on wifi from their parents basement without having to come upstairs, face Dad and ask to use the ethernet cable (which based Dad would have denied)
Yes... Mint is bloated. but it's better to have too much on your plate than never enough.
a usb live environment of Mint is more valuable than the most finely tuned Debian install ever.
Not even a wintard, but Debian is literally a server OS
Mint is for Personal Computers.
you can't handle an extra ~1500 packages being included that have zero effect on performance if your computer was made after 2005, I don't know what to tell you
at that point, you just have OCD

Ironically, currently, a lot of repository packages are newer on LMDE.
VLC in native is v3.0.16 on LM, 3.0.20 on LMDE, because Canonical homosexuals want you to install Snaps.
I mean, there is a Flatpak, but you should know why to prefer a native package.
The reason for installing regular Mint is because it's an uncucked israelitebuntu. Why install LMDE over regular Debian which isn't cucked to start with anyway?
The reason for installing Ubuntu is to have Debian easy to use.
Why even use an uncucked cucked version that probably has residual cuckiness inherent?
Just use LMDE, which what you would want when installing Ubuntu.
>Why install LMDE
zero reason to install LMDE
install normal Mint
Mint is complete, there is nothing to do after installing unless you want to change web browser or media player or whatever.
I have no experience with LMDE but I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole

The whole point of Mint is "just works" so when the best distro comes out with some experimental alternate version that the best team in linux (only team in linux redpilled on Israel, only team in Linux to make the best DE) spends probably 2 percent of their time looking after
oh, speaking of DE... Linux Mint, the most popular distro, they are the only mainstream distro where the people made the DE
nobody frickin liked Unity (that's why Mint took off)
>I have no experience with LMDE
Yeah, obviously. How can one expect to throw around such big words?
My last paragraph alone makes it obvious using anything other than LMDE, if it is virtually the same as regular Mint (it is), would be moronic, because you're adding an additional layer into your main OS's pipeline, that you don't actually need.
You *could* argue LMDE is missing features from regular LM, but then please begin to list them.
Oh. Wait. >I have no experience with LMDE
Right.
I mean, seriously, the pipelines are >Debian --> Ubuntu --> Mint
vs. >Debian --> Mint
It's such a no-brainer, it's the inertia of regular Mint and Ubuntu.
The devs also intend it as a fallback, which is ironic, because they have made their own Ubuntu by doing so.
Honestly, just cut Ubuntu out of the equation altogether.
But Mint devs actually listen to their userbase, who haven't caught on.
The latest thing is that Mint is now repackaging Thunderbird, because Ubuntu has shift it to Snaps.

I'm still new to app development on Linux (written WIN32 apps before switching), so I can't comment on a technical level.
Even then, I write GUI and everything myself, ideally my apps are just borderless windows/fullscreen and everything is handled by the app (renders using OpenGL).
Things I had in mind, but I've so much things to do at the moment:
- Write a GTK GUI wrapper for 7zz for Linux in Python (since there's no official GUI equivalent like on Windows)
- Write another such a wrapper for an EAC replacement that also just interfaces with the shell to execute terminal Linux rippers, AccuRip checkers, FreeDB, ffmpeg, etc.
The earliest I can imagine having the time to do these are next year, so if anyone else wants these programs, feel free to go ahead and start, I'd join at some point.
The blog post talks about GTK3/4 chasm, affecting apps that are written for GNOME.
I'm not sure how it affects the GTK GUI wrapper from Python.
I've looked into the code for the update manager on Mint. It is written in Python.
Certain apps are being reverted to their older counterparts, because they don't work properly outside of GNOME now, including the archive manager, due to GTK4.

Debian Edition exists to make sure they can compile Cinnamons and other packages without relying 100% on Ubuntu, is as arguably easier to rebuild things for other distros when starting from Debian than from Ubuntu. It works as daily driver but is basically Debian with a custom repo that adds some metapackages to it.
Still, they keep it around just in case Ubuntu does something too stupid to fix.
Mint was my first distro and it's possibly the greatest distro for any beginner. Honestly even after going on a trip through many different distros, if I ever make a new PC build, I'll just install Mint on it. It just werks and it's comfy.
Mint is a just a getaway drug for windows XP baby ducks and win7 holdouts, sorry to break it to you but GNOME and KDE are the leading desktop environments supported by real distros and leaders of the Linux desktop.

You guys are probably imagining some White man talking about White men (implying some sense of self-assured superiority), but trust me, you have no idea how common it is to be talking about the White Man outside of White Man areas while being entirely candid about it (Gaijin, Gweilo, Orang Putih).

I've used cinnamon, KDE, cosmic(alpha), gnome, MATE, XFCE.
Cinnamon and KDE are top tier. KDE is still really buggy and has problems with wayland.
For me I look at it this way. Cinnamon X11 on mint is stable, is themed very well, has good GTK apps and they are all themed together and the icon pack, just everything works together its very unified and they are already developing wayland for cinnamon.
KDE is also unifed with krita, kate, kcalc yknow all the QT apps but it's just so damn buggy.
I'll make the switch to QT either when it becomes stable enough that my RX 590 doesn't have graphical glitches.
For example plasma 6 with RX 590 and AMD CPU should work, this hardware has been around forever, yet the sound control panel bugs out and disappears in half, the volume slider lags and overall the desktop just feels slow.
Plasma 5.27 works well and is snappy, but guess what no desktop uses it besides debian or some old non supported distro.
Debian has its own problems OTB like mpv static when seeking, bad pulseaudio drivers and the drivers are very very old.
So no distro has a good KDE version, mint is the only one I'll use. I'd like to use KDE/QT/Wayland for the future it's simply too buggy at the moment.
I tried plasma 6 on my Thinkpad it works fine though.
Mint just werks. The sounds, the theming, the performance, the DE, everything is just so well thought out.

Most of LMDE is bundled in a metapackage that you can add to actual Debian yourself, with some fiddling, you also get more up to date versions of Cinnamon. It is more useful for Linux Mint devs as a test ground for Cinnamon packaging outside Ubuntu than for end users. It's their way to make sure Cinnamon isn't impossible to build outside Ubuntu.

Have they released the new version yet? Distrobox on the official repos is gamechanger.

I have a Desktop PC with Windows 11, a M1 Macbook Pro and a Thinkpad with Arch. Best of all worlds.

font rendering works like shit, just like on any other linux distro
>font rendering works like shit,
the only people who even notice this are actually illiterate
if it's not a meme font like Comic Sans, it all looks the same to people who know how to read
nah, I'll just wait for cosmic
They should port Cinnamon to Cosmic at some point. It's the next logical choice.
No KDE version. I still use mint cinnamon on my laptop though.
If it won't install on Dell desk/laptops it's not for whites and/or men, mint is the only distro I've never been able to install, on supported hardware, no less!
You want JustWorks? Arch and derivatives and put the news feed on your dashboard. NeverBreaks? Debian or Slackware and derivatives, you can't beat the stability without going with openlyBASED.
The White Man hand assembles His own distro from source as it has been done since the dawn of Silicon Circuits, and so it shall be done until the dusk of man kind.
Anything based on an operating system made by and for Black folk is not for any white and even less so for a man.

homosexuals can't leave their pol-tarded bullshit in pol
Foken wot m8? The damn OP is poltarded bullshit, besides I haven't gone there for over half a decade. Also, where do you think you are? I'll rephrase for a redditard: any operating system made by and for African descendants is not for a crakka
You guys are probably imagining some White man talking about White men (implying some sense of self-assured superiority), but trust me, you have no idea how common it is to be talking about the White Man outside of White Man areas while being entirely candid about it (Gaijin, Gweilo, Orang Putih).
How do you know I ain't black when I'm calling you a Black person, Black person?
It's really quite funny, because when you've actually seen a bit of the world, those soigays are the most racist, classisist and *exclusive* type of people around.
I mean, being exclusive is their entire raison d'être, when you think about it, they just need something to elevate themselves with. It's kinda sad really.

>how u know I ain't a homie
hard to say, I'm a quarter dune coon myself at least, mostly russoid (most likely, so non white)
I'm not imagining a white, rather all that being white means. I want to be spiritually white even if I'm not white as that's what the whole homie/crakka thing is about: do you want to be a lower or higher being
98% of people I meet, no matter what race or gender, is generally more moronic than me.
I really don't care or want to associate myself with any... "category."
I really just don't care.
>98% more moronic
I have the same issue, I've been a systems administrator and regular user, there's no box I fit into either, I don't associate with any category unless it's topically relevant
Didn't check, both are me, the pseudowhite that replied
I'll wait until it's BasedstemD free, thanks. Until then I'll stick with fArtix the ultimate terf distro
>BasedstemD
what why does IQfy changes Onions int Based? LOL, RedHat glowies are at it again?
I would if they had a KDE version
I've used cinnamon, KDE, cosmic(alpha), gnome, MATE, XFCE.
Cinnamon and KDE are top tier. KDE is still really buggy and has problems with wayland.
For me I look at it this way. Cinnamon X11 on mint is stable, is themed very well, has good GTK apps and they are all themed together and the icon pack, just everything works together its very unified and they are already developing wayland for cinnamon.
KDE is also unifed with krita, kate, kcalc yknow all the QT apps but it's just so damn buggy.
I'll make the switch to QT either when it becomes stable enough that my RX 590 doesn't have graphical glitches.
For example plasma 6 with RX 590 and AMD CPU should work, this hardware has been around forever, yet the sound control panel bugs out and disappears in half, the volume slider lags and overall the desktop just feels slow.
Plasma 5.27 works well and is snappy, but guess what no desktop uses it besides debian or some old non supported distro.
Debian has its own problems OTB like mpv static when seeking, bad pulseaudio drivers and the drivers are very very old.
So no distro has a good KDE version, mint is the only one I'll use. I'd like to use KDE/QT/Wayland for the future it's simply too buggy at the moment.
I tried plasma 6 on my Thinkpad it works fine though.
Mint just werks. The sounds, the theming, the performance, the DE, everything is just so well thought out.
I loved Plasma 6 on openSUSE but there are just way too many package updates to make it worth dailying at this point.
default openSUSE leap uses 5.27 and I never have any issues at all with my RX 6600
Sorry folks, wrong pic.
Distrotism is why there will never ever be a "year of the linux desktop"
is it ok if i have Windows and just run Linux from flash drive? Gonna save some data to cloud
How do I run exe file on mint
use Wine it's installed by default
i love mint but no kde is a deal breaker, cinnamon is ehh and xfce always gives me screen tearing, kde justwerks on my system
if arch and kde is so unstable then why does steamos use them huh?
Valve has paid white engineers working every day to ensure a smooth operation in their high-selling product
Most people don't have that luxury for their personal computer
>doesn't support wayland
No.
Why choose LMDE over Debian?
I use Fedora btw - not the hat, the operating system.
Most of LMDE is bundled in a metapackage that you can add to actual Debian yourself, with some fiddling, you also get more up to date versions of Cinnamon. It is more useful for Linux Mint devs as a test ground for Cinnamon packaging outside Ubuntu than for end users. It's their way to make sure Cinnamon isn't impossible to build outside Ubuntu.
i'll stick with debian
>inb4 troony
idc it's still the best distro
Debian is nice to game on

I'm brown 'lbeit
linux mint bricked my laptop
I just installed the xfce edition yesterday but this thread is making me rethink my decision.
I'm a proud race traitor, white power can suck my dick mashallah
so the verdict is LMDE is a better choice than Linux Mint?
Average white man has higher IQ than target audience and user-base of this product.
If I play only single-player games on Steam can I just install Linux Mint and not worry about them running properly?
yawn. call me when Mint has a KDE variant
>drag window
>it lags behind the cursor and have to wait for it to catch up
>watch YouTube video
>it hitches and stutters (just works on Windows)
Instantly uninstalled.
I have been using Mint for like 20 years...
Be very careful of instability in new versions but if you stay a year back it is rock solid and just works...
