minus-squareqyron@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 年前I’ve seen some reviews where LMDE being the backup plan for Mint, Cinnamon was the only priority; if that is to change, great. I’m hoping to move to XFCE again.
minus-squaresuperkret@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 年前If you’re not using Cinnamon, why not just use Debian? What else does mint add?
minus-squareqyron@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 年前Older software, mostly. Debian was my daily driver for years but it comes to a point where having to deal with aged software becomes tiresome. This also meant not having the required - and newer - version of some library to run some other program. Mint also refines Debian a little more. Makes it less harsh.
