    You can also install Linux Mint Debian Edition which isn’t based on Ubuntu at all.

      Note that on the negative side it inherits most of the issues of Debian, including extremely old packages.

      Also, Debian 12 finally got very user-friendly enough to the point I would recommend it over LMDE.

        That’s true, but if you want you can change to testing repos. I still prefer it over vanilla Debian due to polish. I find even using Cinnamon DE in Debian it’s just rougher around the edges than Mint.

          Fair enough - if you’re a fan of Cinnamon, LMDE will always be a bit more polished. I can see your use case :)
