I’ve been using Linux Mint since forever. I’ve never felt a reason to change. But I’m interested in what persuaded others to move.

    I forgot to mention that I did try Debian testing. I did like it came with a recent version of Gnome. However, I did had a few problems with it:

    1. I personally found it updates more frequently then I like it. I found that the user interface for Gnome changes often.
    2. If I want to install MySQL workbench, it does not have a download link for Debian at all.
    3. I did got a weird crash bug with Krita on Debian testing. I am not sure if it was Debian’s or Krita’s fault.

    I did found Debian testing to be slightly unstable. I decided, I will give Ubuntu a shot again and was happy with that decision.

      Try Debian sid (unstable), from my experience it’s actually more stable than testing because it gets updates even more often.

      And ditch Gnome. There is no way to be happy with it as it craps out very often and is a maintenance burden for maintainers, therefore the quality differs so much.
