electragician<p>I normally stick with Fedora and derivatives these days, but LMDE has been popping up in my feed recently. I decided to try it out, just to see how it would work.<br><br>Between having the latest Cinnamon and flatpaks, I'm not impacted by the relatively old packagebase on Bookworm. Also, I need to check out some stuff tonight, but I've been playing Bioshock a bit, and I swear the performance is better on this than Fedora 42... that might be some Wayland / nVidia driver issues rearing up though?<br><br>I still feel like Gnome is my favorite DE, but Cinnamon isn't bad at all.<br><br><a href="https://electragicians.space/tags/lmde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lmde</span></a><br><a href="https://electragicians.space/tags/linuxmint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linuxmint</span></a></p>

Emma Liv 🇨🇦<p>2/ In so many words, it's just plain *competent* and I love that oh so very much. I literally never have problems with it. If LMDE disappeared I'd probably just use vanilla Debian but I'd really miss the Mint touch.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Mint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mint</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LMDE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LMDE</span></a></p>
Emma Liv 🇨🇦<p>1/ People say Mint is a "beginner's distro" and I don't really like that because I think it's great for people of all experience levels. Over the past 15 years I've used just about every major distro there is, and I settled with Mint, and then LMDE (Mint Debian Edition) a few years back because it has sane defaults, it's reliable, rock-solid, easy enough to set up how I like and is desktop focused.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Mint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mint</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LMDE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LMDE</span></a></p>
