First post here. As my handle suggests I came to Linux Mint (Debian Edition) via Ubuntu - with brief stopovers at Fedora and raw Debian.
Just wanted to say LMDE is awesome. Cinnamon is so easy to use and so far I haven't seen the freezing issues that made me abandon Gnome desktop.
The install on my ancient MacBook Air want flawlessly and even its wifi adapter worked without me having to mess with kernel extensions.
I left Ubuntu for various reasons, the top ones being; a dislike of snap, ubuntu-advantage [sic] tools and Canonical's incessant attempts to scare me into subscribing to Ubuntu Pro with vulnerability messages delivered via apt. I'm sure you Ubuntu-based Mint folk are happy enough, but LMDE is the way forward as far as I'm concerned.
I'm a Ruby developer and happy to contribute to Mint in any way I can. Good work folks.

I'm happy that you're happy! I'm pretty sure that LMDE6 is indeed awesome. And it's awesome that we have the choice.Ubuntu Refugee wrote: ⤴Tue Nov 07, 2023 8:23 am I'm sure you Ubuntu-based Mint folk are happy enough, but LMDE is the way forward as far as I'm concerned.

Re: LMDE 6 is awesome
I was reluctant to move from Mint to LMDE thinking it was going to be less user-friendly.
But, once LMDE 6.0 was released and I saw some good reviews, I thought of trying it.
It seems faster and less bulky with the same user interface.
Now, I won't go back from LMDE to Mint(Ubuntu).

I actually used LMDE for a bit in early 2022 on a Ryzen 4800U when, for whatever reason, I found that the edge version of Mint 20.3 didn't want to boot...Ubuntu Refugee wrote: ⤴Tue Nov 07, 2023 8:23 amI'm sure you Ubuntu-based Mint folk are happy enough, but LMDE is the way forward as far as I'm concerned.
But I switched to Xfce Mint when I realized that Cinammon, or rather Nemo, just can't compete with the (lack of) latency when opening folders with lots of files in list view (an easy test is /etc) and Xfce, or rather Thunar, is the closest thing to the essentially instant response you get when doing the same thing on Windows 7 with the classic non-Aero theme (high contrast black in my case).
And while Cinnamon/Nemo's "latency" may be mitigated in time with faster and faster hardware, I prefer the traditional style panel anyway and Cinnamon since Mint 21.2 has made that much harder to access, so Xfce it is for me!
(also, as a bonus, Thunar shors the exact amount of bytes that a file takes up in the file properties—something that Nemo lacks)
