It's been a hot minute since the release of the previous Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE), version 5 "Elsie". A year and a half at the time of writing to be precise, several months after Debian…

In this blog post, I opine on why the Debian Edition of Mint appeals to me over the main Mint Ubuntu release.

I also take an in-depth look at what the latest LMDE 6 has to offer, from installation to setting up Cinnamon after the initial boot.

I had great fun trying the new LMDE out! I recommend you all do the same.

    Thanks for the post, I wanted to try Debian on my main desktop, but alas, couldn’t make the wifi dongle work (I found the solution for Mint, so I eventually installed LM), however, I am still eyeing Debian for two things you’ve mentioned…the philosophy and the stability. As I use my comps to do work, I am not looking for a frequent distro-hopping (how different would using Libre Office would be on an Xth distro, right?), so stability is a main factor. That being said, I am also very satisfied with Mint itself.
