I'm using Linux Mint Debian Edition 5, and recommend it. It has the deep sensibility of Linux Mint, but it's _not_ based off Ubuntu. The Cinnamon desktop in LMDE5 has much more polish than Debian 11's Cinnamon desktop, which I also tried and hated within 2 hours (the user management - namely adding additional users who don't inherit the group memberships they sensibly should - is hot garbage).
- lproven 4y agoLMDE is pretty good, but you have to like Cinnamon. I gave it an extended test this year. 6 months or more. I can't get on with it. Allegedly there's a new Debian remix coming from the originator of Ubuntu Mate. That sounds promising. The snag is, I don't like Mate much, either. Its vertical taskbars are non-functional rubbish. The best I've seen recently is MX Linux, the original Xfce edition.
