Comment on Whoa! Windows 7's market share surged, tripling in users last month
spicehoarder@lemmy.zip 1 day agoI can confirm Mint, specifically with the Cinnamon Desktop environment. Although I would also recommend Debian with the Cinnamon Desktop. Ubuntu has been making some pretty weird choices lately for a while now. And while Mint has been trying to move it’s upstream straight to Debian, they haven’t done so yet.

There’s Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE). Does that count?

Surely it does. I also have a secret dream that they will make LMDE the default Linux Mint. No sense basing Ubuntu when they are stripping away everything ubuntu

There is a rational reason for it - some types of software expect Ubuntu during their installation and usage (especially game server panels for some reason), and I’d imagine they wouldn’t work properly if Mint was closer to Debian than Ubuntu.
