TBH I was being a bit 'tongue in cheek' Kadaitcha Man. Trying to make the point (maybe not too subtly!) that it's not that easy to find the info the OP is looking for on the LM website. In fact, I've just spent 10 minutes challenging my own assertion, and as yet I haven't found anything there that would give a potential new user a clear definition between the different editions.Kadaitcha Man wrote: ⤴Mon Oct 26, 2020 8:17 pmAnd answers to almost every single question ever asked on these forums is available in a search engine near you, but some people simply don't think about that, nor do they think about what they are asking for help with. "Hi! I'm running Manjaro and the folks over at the Manjaro forum can't answer my question so I thought I'd ask here...", or "Hi! I'm running Windows 10 and get a blue screen of death...", and when questioned on the sanity of asking such things here, the response is something along the lines of, "Well, my mother's uncle Tom's brother works with a woman who has a cousin three times removed whose grandmother's great aunt Bertha once saw Linux Mint in a shop window, so I hardly think this is off-topic".
I googled it in the end and I did get the LM readthedocs install guide (https://linuxmint-installation-guide.re ... hoose.html) which is sort of close to home, this forum, and others that are written by third parties, e,g. :
https://www.fosslinux.com/42787/linux-m ... s-mate.htm
https://linuxhint.com/linux_mint_cinnamon_vs_mate/
https://www.lifewire.com/linux-mint-cin ... ts-4175395
etc
but i just think it shouldn't be that tricky for a newb trying to differentiate, and that the relevant info should be where you'd expect to find it first.
Two cents
