Did I blink and miss something... Mint actually looks pretty modern compared to how I remember the release notes, kernel 6.8... I've never bothered with it as it just seemed like a distro to run on old hardware if you don't mind your core being 2 years out of date, where Debian v.xx with kde just made more sense
Interesting..
It's solid. I game all the time on it. I don't do much else on my home PC. Watch videos and movies. It's solid enough that I have abandoned Windows completely. I still deal with it with my work laptop, but I don't give a shit. It's not my money there.
I've got an older Latitude that I've nearly maxxed out on a shoestring budget, it runs LMDE 6 and is my dedicated Linux machine. I use it for online study, Zoom sessions, content consumption, and some Python here and there, LMDE is rock solid and hasn't given me any fuss at all.
Unless LM22 has undergone some significant changes, I would say LMDE 6 doesn't feel "modern" but it feels polished
Oh so is this 22 like the rolling release Vs that? I should just look it up but I made both these comments on the toilet and hate web browsing on mobile 😄
Kind of, its based on the latest LTS of Ubuntu if memory serves me right
I try to avoid Ubuntu for a lot of the common reasons seen here, so a Debian based Mint suits me well
