I was wondering is there an EOL date for LMDE4 as it's not showing up on the main downloads page:

TIA
Does LMDE4 have a set EOL date?

As far as I know, EOL for Buster is about a year away. LMDE download can be found here.

Not that I've ever seen mentioned anywhere. Technically you could carry on using it as long as it's base Debian Buster is receiving long term support updates but if LMDE5 is released then LMDE4 (debbie) repository packages will stop receiving around 3 months after that. Keep an eye on the Mint Blog for any announcements related to LMDE5 when Debian Bullseye is released.
I’ll tell you a DNS joke but be advised, it could take up to 24 hours for everyone to get it.

Thanks guys for your answers - much appreciated!

For what it's worth: Debian has a projected EOL for 'Buster" as January 2022: https://endoflife.software/operating-sy ... nux/debian

Buster goes LTS in 2022 and will get and additional 2 years security only updates until 2024 provided by the LTS team.

I just want to jump in here and mention that I have been running LMDE since version 1. I struggled through the whole “semi-rolling release” phase with the “snapshots” etc. I use LMDE 4 as my non-Windows daily driver on my Lenovo.
It is the first distro that finally got me to stop distro hopping. I just works. It is clean, elegant and stable. I love it.
If you think about it, LMDE really is an entirely separate distro from the main Ubuntu-based Mint. I love it. Good work Clem & team!
