OP wants to get away from Ubuntu, but Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu. Maybe that would be reason for OP to disprefer Mint?

- tmtvl 4y agoWhat about LMDE?
- exegete 4y agoOP mentioned stability and long-term supported as what he’s looking for. The Linux Mint team have stated LMDE is more for themselves to gather info and not a priority. So I would stay away if looking for stability and long-term support. “We work on LMDE primarily for us, to get that information. It is not a priority, certainly not compared to Linux Mint itself…” https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=4276 https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=4276
- pessimizer 4y agoThat's barely even a real distribution; it's an escape plan for Mint to leave Ubuntu if necessary. This is not a serious suggestion.
- tejtm 4y agoMint so far has avoided forcing snaps, I will jump ship too if they do.
