Distrohopping. On my ThinkPad T430s I replaced elementary with LMDE 5. On same drive I also have Debian 11 Xfce and Mint 21.1 Cinnamon, and on a separate drive Windows 10. I managed to do the installation without messing up anything else on the machine! I want to explore to get a feeling how LMDE 5 (Mint based on Debian) is compared to Mint 21 (based on Ubuntu9, comparing with both on Cinnamon desktop.

This is awesome! Please share your thoughts once you are able to give a verdict.

I am using regular Mint myself but I am really curious if LMDE is a viable alternate.

@ASP I will try to! I am, in slow pace migrating from macOS to Mint Cinnamon on another machine. So I intend to eg install same sw on LMDE as one comparison. I wonder if more of Flatpak will be needed (when up to date release is desirable). I will look from my ordinary user perspective, not from an expert perspective. I hope I’ll be back with findings!
