Today I am looking at the latest release of Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) 6, For the most part the release is very good with a few pieces that could use a little polish to get them just right. I did run a test on the encrypt your home directory and I was going to include that piece of troubleshooting in this video, but its just too long, so I will put up a different video covering the problem, and a work around I was able to get working...kinda.

I really like that LMDE exists and it’s supported instead of being a downstream community spin.

I really enjoy watching DJ Ware. He is old-fashioned and he can still deliver a high quality video, and is always to the point. I absolutely love DJ Ware.

@breadmoth6443 10 месяцев назад

the devs over at mint should just outright ditch the ubuntu base; there is a reason LMDE exists since they themselves are not liking where the direction ubuntu is going. LMDE would benefit greatly if that was the default of mint as debian as its base.

@jimw7916 10 месяцев назад

The "reason" is that canonical is likely to implement the new "government spying" directives at a later time. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DyKkZxyasHE.html

@kappilino 10 месяцев назад

I like Linux Mint LMDE. Because I don’t like cannonical and it’s unpredictabality. It’s also cool because it’s simple to change debian stable to debian testing. So you have an rolling release mint. I think Mint has one of the best optimized and desktop user oriented distro with the highly optimized cinamon desktop. My only concern is the relative old base with Ubuntus LTS Versions. But with Debian testing it’s much more on the edge.

@CyberGizmo 10 месяцев назад

Debian has been talking internally about shortening their release cycle time, I think they realize that folks want more recent package versions. Not sure what they will do, but its good to hear them talking about it

Like others, I also like this version of Mint. For me at least, Canonical is going far towards trying to be Microsoft or Apple, i.e. Corporate, especially having Snaps as a wallled garden. Not for me anyway. Good video as always.

@marcelorauber_ 10 месяцев назад

I'm a long-time user of Linux Mint, but to this day I don't know if I would have many changes in my day-to-day use if I switched to LMDE. I use my PC it for working with text and playing games and I usually install a newer kernel with the Mainline Kernels (Ubuntu tool). I was really interested in switching after the release of Debian 12. Has anyone made this change and had any difficulties?

@CyberGizmo 10 месяцев назад

So just to let you know, Debian 12 is first of all a great stable release, people usually get real excited about it when a new version drops. Being that Debian is stable that means the version number of packages will not change over the life of the release (they do security patches). So people lose enthusiasm for Debian as it gets closer and closer to its next release cycle (usually 2 years). Ubuntu on the other hand will update about every 6 months, and ubuntu also has a long term release version which they update every 2 years. As for difficulties, with longer term releases if you replace hardware between releases you may find issues with newer devices not working, because the support isn't included in the older versions.

@jimw7916 10 месяцев назад

only difference I can see is its a bit of a pain on the Debian version if you want to use the very latest kernel , such as the one I use (6.5.1) on the ubuntu version. On the ubuntu version , its easy even for a newby to install the latest one.

Relative differences by setting either the fastest or slowest to 1 would be better for visual comparison than absolute numbers. Could also be shown in percents. You could also compare everything to Fedora, for example.

I visited the site, I was unable to find such compiled (similar to yours) tests, it seems you selected the most interesting important practical ones, regarding that@@CyberGizmo yes, maybe it does not matter much if common folks do the test or the chipmakers, maybe as long as they are similar, also I would be interested in knowing if there is a link/guide to use the site and configure the tests to be displayed.

hey yall, Ive been on windows forever, currently on 10 and I do not want to upgrade any further beyond 10. I want to finally make the switch to Linux. I do gaming (Steam games) and development (RoR, JS, C#). Im having a hard time finding distros. Suggestions? I have a desktop running an AMD Ryzen 5950X and an RTX 4090 from Nvidia, 32GB RAM, a few SSDs and 1 generic Hard drive where I store games/files which are NTFS format. My C Drive is just windows and some apps which I will probably put Linux on, is this feasible without having to wipe my other drives?

@henkman 8 месяцев назад

I made the jump from win10 to linux mint a few months ago. When switching I shoved all my files onto an external drive, reformatted all my internal drives with ext4 and shoveled them back on the drives afterwards. Few years back when I was testing linux I did mount NTFS drives and it worked ok but I suggest you reformat if possible. All games I play have native versions or work perfectly with proton (make sure to check protonup-qt for new versions). If you are playing FPS games and require high performance/frames I can also recommend trying out custom kernels like xanmod. Pretty happy so far and will stay with mint

@@RK-kn1ud Secure boot uses a private/public key pair of encryption keys (that is what makes it "secure") each os that wants to use it has to have a unique key generated especially for them, and Microsoft manages that process for the moment.

Why not use phoronix to benchmark? And compare to Debian default, Fedora, Ubuntu, OpenSuse and maybe another few distro's, like Mint. Debian12 Bullseye + LMDE6 + Mate and just add the few well-known repo's, like from Solus, Brunsenlabs and a Manjaro like media/gaming config👍 Mate-tweaks, with Fedora and Opensuse panels, with xstart and looking into wayland configs..

@CyberGizmo 10 месяцев назад

@TheYoungtrust 10 месяцев назад

I installed the Nvidia meta package. When I restarted, I only had a TTY. I typed lsmod and saw that it stopped the Nouveau module from loading as it should to prevent clashes, and the Nvidia driver was loaded, but something went wrong. The Debian meta package didn't come with the nice integration with the Cinnamon desktop either. It certainly was not as nice an experience as with vanilla Linux Mint, where I just pressed one click at the welcome screen, restarted, and it was fully working and integrated in the desktop. I'm no Linux expert, though, so I'm sure you would know what to do.@@CyberGizmo

@SouthFacedWindows 10 месяцев назад

@CyberGizmo I actually came back to Linux after almost 20 years. Last time I used Linux it was Mandrake! Remember mandrake? I could not tolerate win11 anymore. Everyirme I try it and it makes me want to throw away the pc. Glad I tried Linux again and things have changed lot from where I left off! I first tried Mint and then I did my usual distro hopping and stumbled upon Manjaro. I didn't even know it was Arch based and back in my days we didn't have Arch linux. Glad I tried it and now I love Arch and Arch based distros. I think users need to be careful with Arch based distros as it has access to AUR and Chaotic AUR. Which is great but tread carefully.

Please, do not promote unnecessary distributions like this one. It quite literally adds nothing to the community apart of additional fracturing and reinventing of the wheel. LMDE solves no problems, adds no features. There is no need for it to exist. Mint on it's own is just a glorified colour theme to Ubuntu, creating a whole set of Linux distributions just to move themes and fonts around or make the menus in a slightly different order is just a meaningless busywork. This is not a step forward. Perpetual mediocrity and wasting of resources is the reason why Linux on desktop is just a joke. My first Linux was a Mandrake in the early 2000'. I remember how it annoyed me, it was so janky, could not run Windows stuff in a meaningful way, performance was bad. Twenty years and hundreds of distros later, it's pretty much the same.
