Just make sure you know what you are doing. It's not one of the major distros.
For the longest time you couldn't dist-upgrade it, at all. The functionality wasn't there. When their web servers got hacked, they cleaned them, and got hacked again.
From a Debian user's perspective it is unclear why these small distros can't just be a Debian derivative or a Fedora spin. It's not scalable that every small distro invents their own infrastructure.
- blaser-waffle 6y agoBecause pure Debian never worked with my wifi drivers, and Ubuntu didn't come with video codecs and other small lifestyle tweaks by default. If Debian came with those OOTB -- and they won't, since some of those codec ain't FOSS -- then I'd agree with you. Like, I ain't crazy about what's happening with Mint and all of their hacks -- trust status: eradicated -- but I certainty get why they exist as a distro.
