@mcc 👋 I switched to Mint Debian edition (LMDE) on my framework 13 laptop, and after about a month of semi-daily use I like it a lot.

Been feeling like I should do a serious tryout of NixOS but haven't made time for it yet.

(Ubuntu switched my Firefox to snap, *despite* being carefullly configured to never use snap's FF ever, which meant an old FF version, which made my profile unusable. grrr... no more Ubuntu.)

@mcc Er, to be clear though, it's definitely still linux on the desktop. I'm not gonna ditch the Mac anytime soon.

@darcher Any big benefit for using LMDE over regular Mint?

@ingram not sure? I chose it mostly because snap kept screwing me over on every Ubuntu update. I think the downside is that Debian apt packages are further behind, but I know how to work around that.

@darcher Nice thing with regular Mint is that snap has been eliminated. I thought LMDE was more a backup option in case Ubuntu went even more rogue.

@ingram ohh, that's good to know, thanks. I was thinking regular mint did have snap, but either way I'm feeling kind of done wrong by canonical.
