Been awhile since I tried Linux Mint. Have no interest in using Ubuntu so went straight for the latest Debian Edition beta which was just released. This feels like such a solid release, which makes sense due to its Debian base. I really like Cinnamon and the suite of utility tools Mint ships with.

As someone who typically uses Debian, I can see me using this as a permanent desktop OS as the changes and additions the Mint team add to Debian seem to be nothing but positive.

Well worth checking out!

Agreed. I use regular Linux Mint and it's fantastic. Clem and team are excellent and IMO the best distro overall.

If you're a Debian fan or user I highly recommend using LMDE because it's Debian+. It takes the pain out of installing and setting up Debian, adds a great desktop environment, has auto update checks, great set of utility's and apps and support.

I might spin it up in a VM and take a look.
