Understanding upstream bugs
Posted: Sun Jul 01, 2018 5:53 pm
I can't remember exactly the type of bug and the distro that's involved, but one thing I clearly remember was somebody said the bug cannot be fixed because it's inherited from the upstream distro. Is this mostly the case for distros which are based on another distros?
Like, for example -- if there is a bug in Debian, Ubuntu automatically inherits it, and so does Linux Mint. If there is a new bug introduced in Ubuntu (not present in Debian), Linux Mint inherits that as well?
I just need to understand when comparing stability between distros like Mint vs LMDE.
Does keeping LMDE based directly on Debian make it more stable than basing it on another Debian-based distro?

Code: Select all
Debian ----> Ubuntu ----> Linux Mint

---> LMDE
