Debian vs Linux Mint - reddit.com
www.reddit.com › aehfld › debian_vs_linux_mintNote though that Debian has a learning curve compared to Mint. The latter tries to have everything set up out-of-the-box, whereas Debian expects you to do some things yourself, such as enabling the package lists for firmware drivers (non-free). These tasks are easy to execute, but might require some research and patience.
Linux Mint Vs Linux Mint Debian Edition : linuxmint
www.reddit.com › r › linuxmintLMDE is based on Debian Stable, only comes in Cinnamon, and Cinnamon is basically rolling. Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu LTS (which was mostly cut from a freeze of Debian Unstable when created) with semi-anual point releases, and comes in Cinnamon/Mate/XFCE. Both use flatpak, which is how you'd have contemporary software in either case.
