If you want really boring, go for Debian.
It's a peaceful life
Hell yeah -- I do want my OS to be boring.
Hello from Mint :)
Mint based on Ubuntu or Debian? Debian mint is probably the most boring … and stable and great for anyone who just wants a computer to work.
Isn't it based on Ubuntu which is based on Debian? It's my first time using Linux and I switched a couple of weeks ago so I'm not sure to be honest but the website[1] states:
Which leaves me just as confused.
LMDE is the version of linux mint based on Debian rather than Ubuntu. It is missing a few features over the main version but it wont randomly shit the bed because of a bad ubuntu package.
What the other person wrote isn't quite true: there is a current version of Linux Mint based on Ubuntu (which is itself based on Debian) and another current version based directly on Debian for those who want to avoid Ubuntu.
Originally it was based on Ubuntu, which is itself based on Debian. But recently they based directly on Debian. There are some differences. Debian based is more stable with older packages and kernel.
Just wanted to add a clarification that both editions are offered currently.
What? No, there are two versions: the main one, based on Ubuntu, and an alternative one based directly on Debian (Linux Mint Debian Edition)
Indeed. or fed. the only drama i want in my life is the stuff going on IN the game. not some OS cockblocking me.
