I like to migrate from LM to LMDE. I know enough to do so but like to know your experience if you had LM and moved to LMDE.
could you give me overall experience and also let me know difference of RAM usage? how much RAM used when you boot into LMDE?
what about nvidia driver? what is cinnamon version of LMDE 5? etc.
could someone give me experience LMDE

Re: could someone give me experience LMDE
FWIW you can probably test most of those things out on your gear by simply running a LiveUSB.

Re: could someone give me experience LMDE
Hi, I use lmde on various machines. On my 64 bit laptop lmde is using about 400 MB of ram idling. On a 32 bit laptop with mate desktop and 512 MB ram, it can be optimised to use less than 150 MB idling.
You could theoretically strip down LM or LMDE to be low resource usage, but LMDE is probably closer to the target to begin with.
LM = Ubuntu + Mint
Ubuntu = Debian + Bloat
LMDE = Debian + Mint

There is no Driver Manager in LMDE for installing Nvidia drivers. Debian wiki: NvidiaGraphicsDrivers
It is the same as the latest version available with Linux Mint Main Edition. Whenever a newer version of Linux Mint is released, shortly after that LMDE receives an update to same Cinnamon version. That means the Cinnamon version currently available in LM21.1 is the version one gets after installing and running updates in LMDE5.

Re: could someone give me experience LMDE
I prefer LMDE5 to LM21.1 because it has many of the same features, e.g. Cinnamon 5.6, but it works with my laptop better
That could be the difference between kernel 5.10 (LMDE) rather than 5.15 (LM21); maybe newer isn't always best
LM21 has a driver manager and I could install NVIDIA drivers easily, but that made stability worse and sent the kernel into a panic so I went back to LMDE without the NVIDIA driver. I'll try the NVIDIA driver in LMDE when I get a bit of spare time
If LM21 works well for you then stick with it because support will be more plentiful, LMDE has been more stable for me

Just installed it using synaptic:what about nvidia driver?
installed nvidia-detect, ran that in terminal which told me which driver I needed
installed nvidia-driver (in my case)
It works
