A Quick Look At Linux Mint Debian Edition 'Faye'

LMDE is a Linux Mint project which stands for “Linux Mint Debian Edition”. Its goal is to ensure Linux Mint would be able to continue to deliver the same user experience, and how much work would be involved, if Ubuntu was ever to disappear.

It's about time for Mint to go full time with Debian.

Ubuntu = Canonical.
Canonical = 49% Microsoft.
Debian = Freedom.

I switched to LMDE 6 and my libido increased!

[laletemanolete]

IMO Mint should already be all 100% debian based.

My 9 year old daughter has been running LMDE 5 on her laptop for a year now. It works well with her drawing tablet in Krita and everything. No issues. It's a great OS.

good thing MINT goes the double path. who says Canonical isn't gonna pull a "REDHAT" on the community...

Thanks for this video DT. You touched on all the reasons why Linux Mint is so popular with folks. The distro has had a long tradition giving a new user such a great experience and they are better each time they roll out another desktop. Its fit, finish, and functionality is top=shelf. The only thing about Mint is it isn't geared for low end and very mature desktop computers but still runs circles around Windows11 so even this shouldn't be a deal killer. It is functional, easy, and beautiful. These guys are really pros at developing a great experience!

LMDE = "Linux Mint Doomsday Edition".
Historian: "....after Ubuntu was purchased by Microsoft, it became "Linux as a Service", dooming users to monthly subscription fees. But Linux Mint carried on undaunted using Debian as its foundation...."

Not used Mint in years, might be worth another look with this version.

I distro hopping and in the end going back installing LMDE few days ago. it feels like home, everything just work in my old computer(with i3 gen 2). Software centre is getting better with UI and flathub / flatpak install choice.
If anyone wants to migrate from windows ask me, I'd recommend LMDE as their first linux distro

[jozsefizsak]

Very nice! I'm going to try that out.

Excellent video, gd work always. You make most distros appear desireable. I play learn & catchup with U DT. I look forward to exploring emacs w/U. I have virt manager on PopOS & a proxmox box to play with, thanks Friend. For stability I prefer Debian & Slackware.

LMDE 6 on a used Dell E5440. I put in a 120 GB SSD that I had lying around. It is bloody awesome.

I just installed that (V5) for a friend on a enterprise class PC I picked up for peanuts. I think this distro is perfect for older windows users. Its very similar GUI and he feels comfortable using it. I doubt I will get any tech calls which is better for me. However, I'll upgrade him to 6 next time we're hanging out. It is rather dated looking but it just works. I personally don't use it, I prefer Slackware and have been dabbling with the new Debian for fun.

love your shirt brother.
i appreciate your straight forward style and having the drive to cut through very logically .
i have recently gone back to my young adulthood and have been distort hopping again. KDE 6 disrupted my dream desktop, had it set up like gnome and had many more option than the one i was imitating. as all of us know in linux, there are frequently many changes that cause us to change, i think i shall finally settle for now to cinnamon gnome.

[laurencejohnson]

A well presented video!👍👍 I actually prefer the Mate desktop and hopefully that will become available with LMDE..

[merthyr]

Doesn't LMDE have non-free repos added by default? They should do for drivers as far as I know.

[Pedrok]

Downloaded it twice and tried to i intall it on dell d430 and each time it comes up with an installation error at the end normal linux mint installs ok

[BitsOfTruth]

I installed the tool "sudo apt install -y mintupgrade" and I had to omit the word "apt" and type "sudo mintupgrade"
