Isn’t Mint already Debian based? What is the difference between mint and lmde?

[–] Rustmilian@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Linux Mint is Ubuntu based as it originally started as a protest distro against decisions take by canonical.
LMDE cuts out the middle man and is directly based on Debian.
If you use Cinnamon DE and like LTS releases; where secure patches are backported and feature releases are held back until the next major release, then LMDE is a good choice.

Mint is Ubuntu based which is Debian based which is just plainly Based.
