LMDE 6 “Faye” – BETA Release – The Linux Mint Blog
blog.linuxmint.com

Been awhile since I tried Linux Mint. Have no interest in using Ubuntu so went straight for the latest Debian Edition beta which was just released. This feels like such a solid release, which makes sense due to its Debian base. I really like Cinnamon and the suite of utility tools Mint ships with.

As someone who typically uses Debian, I can see me using this as a permanent desktop OS as the changes and additions the Mint team add to Debian seem to be nothing but positive.

Well worth checking out!

    Agreed. I use regular Linux Mint and it’s fantastic. Clem and team are excellent and IMO the best distro overall.

    If you’re a Debian fan or user I highly recommend using LMDE because it’s Debian+. It takes the pain out of installing and setting up Debian, adds a great desktop environment, has auto update checks, great set of utility’s and apps and support.

    I might spin it up in a VM and take a look.

    Is this what installs by default? I just installed Cinnamon on my windows laptop and am not sure what this is all about. Anyway I was very impressed with it might even switch from OCLP/MacOS on my aging Macs.
