  Why not straight up Debian?

    Because the standard version of Mint uses the ubuntu repositories. You get to utilize most of what makes up ubuntu, but decoupled from the stuff Canonical wants to push. It has some added polish as well.

    It was more of an ubuntu-specific reply rather than “what’s the best distro” thing.

    But now that you mention it, there is also Linux Mint Debian Edition! :D

    I might actually start using LMDE at work, since we have some stuff that’s more focused on debian than ubuntu.

      Ubuntu is just Debian with some closer to bleeding edge stuff installed then PPA and Snaps. Debian is more stable, you just have to wait a bit for the latest DM. I consider not having Snaps an advantage :)

      I tried it out with Bookworm, Had KDE Plasma, Steam and everything else I wanted up without a lick of terminal work.

      Mint is fine, though, honestly, all derivatives are fine. Cannocial is the one stand out that has their head of their ass, but they’re still better than windows.
