    I use it. It’s certainly a distro. For my laptop, I wanted something based on Debian to match my server, and i didn’t want to have to configure anything That’s pretty much it.

    I don’t love it enough to recommend, but it’s doing its job well enough for me. Maybe it’s problem is that it’s boring.

    I’ll admit, I haven’t really experimented with distros in a while. Not since I installed Debian on my server.

      Maybe it’s problem is that it’s boring.

      Personally, I consider that a feature. Most of my machines are on Debian Stable, though I do keep a distro-hopping laptop around which is on the newly released Mint at the moment. I just use Flatpaks for the odd application that I need the very latest version of (e.g., Yuzu emulator). I will give MX a try sometime, at least in a VM.

        Oh that’s absolutely a feature. Debian in it’s entirety is pretty boring. But it’s not making news or making memes

      That sounds like it scratches the same itch as Linux Mint Debian Edition, but I’d personally choose LMDE because I used Linux Mint before.
