A Debian version of mint is incomprehensibly based

TLDR: 80s: On crack 90s: Being yourself, cool, swagger 2020s Alt right attempts to appropriate this to mean being an unapologetic douchnozzle

Hey I haven’t heard of this.

So this is mint based on Debian directly instead of ubuntu?

That’s correct they released it around the time so the Amazon stuff happened if I remember right. Since debian 12 has been so popular and with flatpak and distro box gaining popularity, there’s been a big call for lmde to become the focus.

Thanks for the reply! Amazon stuff? I’m so out of the loop it seems.

I will test this tonight. Finally mint will have hardware support for my laptop with high kernel version. I will see if kernel patch for proprietary stuff also works.

Various mint apps come preinstalled.

Simplicity of deployment would be a big one. There are also few other apps that come along with being Mint.

I would expect LMDE to be much better tested and refined. That said, the end result is probably that the Cinnamon lacked in Debian work great as well.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
