Regular Mint is indeed a milestone-based distro built on Ubuntu. But LMDE is a rolling-release based on Debian-testing, with no relation to Ubuntu. That's specifically what I'm referring to.
There are certainly other stable rolling-releases out there, but I think everyone can agree that a distro like Arch is about a lightyear away from being Grandma-friendly (which Ubuntu more or less aims to be).
- ori_b 15y ago> It's based on Debian-testing, which is more unstable than Debian-unstable Wrong. Testing is more stable than Unstable, which is more stable than Experimental. Furthermore, Ubuntu does extremely heavy modification to the Debian base, repackaging quite a number of it's core packages, and replacing a number of central parts at times (eg, the boot system). If you're going to say that people don't know what they're talking about, please make sure you do.
- acabal 15y agoYou're right, I've corrected my post. But I still stand by my general point :)
