I've enjoyed LMDE 5 for the last few months, so I got the beta for LMDE 6 a week or two ago. SO far, I can't really tell any difference. It works very well, indeed.
Just use "window list" instead of "grouped window list". That way the "add to panel" menu works as expected, and only the currently active window is underlined with the accent color (which is important for me). That is the true classic functionality and it works perfect.
I wish the "grouped window list" was able to set the underline accent color just for the active window. If it had that, the old "window list" could finally be deprecated. But having a list of windows where I can't immediately see which one is the currently active one, that is useless in my eyes.
I tried LMDE Beta 2 on my old Lenovo N22 Chromebook this morning, and it almost worked perfectly with the exception that I lost all audio. Tried various things but couldn't get sound back again. So for now, I've gone back to Debian 12. But I am still excited to see where Mint goes with this.
LMDE is the GOAT. Only little gripe is the Nvidia drivers don't come installed with CUDA libraries by default so any app that uses it will throw an error. It's a few downloads in the Software Manager but it would be nice if it was included like with the regular Ubuntu based Mint.
I'm sure it's been mentioned already in the comments, but I am praying to the various gods that Mint will standardized on Debian as the base with all editions, Xfce/Mate/Cinnamon editions being made available. A change of base will require a massive effort on their part especially with having to maintain support for the existing LM 20.x and LM21.x, but there it is. My experience with LMDE4 was excellent, my experience with LMDE5 was perfect on 7th-gen machines and earlier, did not try on newer hardware. LMDE6 beta continues my experience....flawless. Kudos to the Mint team! Thanks for the coverage, Tom. An LM fanboy here🙂
I may do LMDE on my next install. I’d like to do a tiling WM as primary and have a good DE to fall back to. Debian 12 is amazing and this looks to be a great package.
I've been running LMDE 6 beta on my laptop since its release a couple weeks back and I've been loving it. So much that I really think it's time for them to drop Ubuntu, this is just beautiful. I appreciate just how much polish the Mint team puts into their systems. I only wish they would offer Gnome and KDE versions with all that polish as well, then I would be in heaven.
No, it's not that hard. I just mean I would love for the Mint team to do it with their polish. Vanilla is fine, but it's nice to have it polished up out of the box. @@kuroneko9710
11:10 i wish Mint team would put in an " Unselect all " button in the gui software update manager. I find that would be faster to uncheck what i dont want and only update what i need or care for
Absolutely 1000000% agree. I have always lamented the switch in the update app to ditch the "update levels". An "Unselect All" button would make a almost perfect distro, well, perfect🙂
This question was asked in a way below, but a little differently. I'm running Mint on my desktop but but want to get away from Canonical. I'm torn between installing LMDE (have it in a virtual machine) or Debian. I realize that if you want Cinnamon, it is a later version on LMDE, but I don't even require this, XFCE would suit me. The software store is nice, but I don't have a problem with using the command line for updates, although, on Mint, I do use their Update Mgr, but most times, I just install new packages from the command line. I dread doing a complete install, and would love to make the right choice the first time. I have Debian 11 on a dual-core Pentium laptop and have not fooled with it or LMDE 5 in virtual machine enough to make a decision
Great video! I think there is a real need for Linux Mint Debian Edition. I've been trying Debian 12 XFCE & overall very impressed but compared to Mint or Xubuntu, Debian 12 feels 90% complete. The first clue you get to this is on every reboot after install & you have to enter your user name. I think part of the problem is that Debian offers many desktop environments. Also installing a Brother laser printer was definitely easier in Xubuntu than Debian. In Debian I think you are meant to install the brlaser package first, while Ubuntu it's just a matter of following a few prompts & it is done.
If you're using lightdm as your login manager, you probably need to tweak your settings to remember last login.. Can't remember now but I believe it's in ligntdm-greeter. Googling will get the details.
I noticed this thing about flatpacks: they don't follow my colour settings (I prefer dark, its easier for my old eyes). There might be a way to switch this, but I find it easier to pass on flatpacks and use the old method instead.
I've had this since it came out and LOVE it... no issues at all.. FAST.. nice-- and I was about to get tired of KDE which I've run for a LONG time.. and find I don't miss the TILING as much as I thought I would.. this DOES have WORKSPACES-- (Alt + F1_) but I do NOT use them-- it's all just TABS... just looks different.. big whoop.
not ready for me. LMDE 5 was great. Installed LMDE 6 Beta2 but once programs installed cinnamon keeps crashing to fallback mode. Restart computer sign in then cinnamon crashes to fallback mode. Troubleshoot restart cinnamon and instant fallback mode. Not experience enough to find why. So have installed Debian 12 netinstall with cinnamon. All programs loaded and working perfect
@@PhayzinOut not knowing why and what caused it, I cant submit a report. And yes I did expect some problems but not this big a one after watching youtube reviews
That new GTK colors/theme editor really improves the experience, the old one was pretty confusing and redundant with all those color variations of the same theme.
My only complaint about LMDE is that I am not proficient enough to be able to install the latest kernel on it. I use the latest kernel on the ubuntu-based Mint and it is superb.....really fast. On the standard mint its a piece of cake to install kernels, but the Debian version makes it extremely hard.
I use a newer kernel on Linux Mint through Mainline Kernels. I would like to know if there is an option like this for Debian/LMDE or if I would have to download it manually. I don't know what else would change in my daily life with LMDE
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?
I had no idea this was out. I am done dual booting, so I am just going to do a straight install on my better hard drive and keep the little one spare. or if I really badly need windows I'll make a VM or something. I'll worry about it if it becomes an issue.
I'm not an expert in Linux so I have to ask: is the "gap" so to speak between Mint mainline and their LMDE narrowing? Secondly, if you install Snap on a Linux system (other than Ubuntu which probably uses it as default) does that interfere with other distribution methods that the Linux community use?
The gap between the two is getting smaller. No, installing Snap does not interfere with other ways to package software. You can still always use your distribution default method, and snap allows you to install anything in the snap store on most Linux distros. If you want to check it out, certainly install the snap store after installing snapd, which gives you a nice GUI software store to find what you are looking for.
Has anyone tried to download LMDE 6 lately? Every download link I've tried on the Mint website has installation errors. It even corrupted one of my USB drives. I can download Linux Mint 22 and all is well. I believe LMDE got corrupted somehow
The problem I had with beta 1 was even getting the installer to launch. The error I was getting was that the temp location for the installer did not exist.
Please compare and contrast LMDE 6 with SIDUCTION. Why should I pick one over the other? What are the critical differences/how do they distinguish themselves from each other?
00:27 - Let's rephrase: If users more and more disappears from Ubuntu. The way they are pushing snaps and other stuff definitely doesn't make many users happy, me included! I am a Ubuntu user since 2006, Ubuntu Dapper I think. And after they kick off Unity, and with Flatpak and this snap stuff, I really dissapointed. After a long time I was using Kubuntu, but now I am back to Debian SID, which by the way, Debian was one of my first Linux back than in '97! So long Ubuntu! And thanks for all the fish! Or not....
Yeah it's not that Snap is good or bad, it's that Ubuntu is (passive) aggressively forcing it. Once you start forcing something on me, I don't want it. Goes for other things too 😉
Hi Sir am window user used window xp window 7 and windows 10( for long time) I want to go to linux .looking for stability ..fast..less use of resources. and perfect for daily home ditsro .Linux LMDE 6 will be the best?Plz advise
I would like that option as well. Being based on Debian, it should be easy enough, but they may not have the resources to fully test with whatever changes are required to make it a reliable Mint release. If they ever get around to dropping the Ubuntu edition, maybe they'll have the time.
This is indeed good to see, but again as I've said before until Mint drops the Ubuntu base altogether, and give their 100% attention to the Debian base with the latest kernels out of the box, and a rolling release, then I'll be sticking to Manjaro, and Solus.
long is the support for LMDE 6 ? when it's of date do I have to reinstall the whole thing. My old MacBook Pro it's the only distros that found the broadcom drivers straight away. who are they connecting the laptop with a cable to the internet. it just worked
I do think that solutions like Flatpak and Snap are the future, I've been just avoiding them while I can because I'm frankly too lazy to figure out how to get around the instances where sandboxing gets in the way of functionality for some applications I use. It will be nice to be able to just install working apps on any distribution with one package without having compatibility concerns and it would allow developers to focus on what they do best and not on maintaining packages. That said, that doesn't mean one corporation should push their solution, and especially it should not keep you from choosing to use a package that is available and you want to install. Linux is about freedom and choice. And yes, you can just not chose Ubuntu but one issue I see with that is that because Ubuntu is so popular some applications only have a Snap version and no Flatpak so you may end up helping Snap be the winner just because they already have dominance.
I don't want to migrate to Debian yet. The main reason is the lack of availability and updating of software. I currently use Linux Mint Cinnamon (Ubuntu based distro)
have been using mint xfce from last 4 years. I have found mint to be more user friendly, stable, reliable, Efficient and faster than each release of Ubuntu. Mint developers know what they are doing. Ubuntu is completely clueless and heading towards microsoft's pathway.
Do all Linux users just hate razors? Or does Linux promote facial hair growth? Just about all Linux channels I watch have facial hair aka beards. My guess is too busy futzing on a command line installing packages to shave... Not a good look for girls, so I'll stick with Windows and Mac

why do we keep repeating this ridiculous thing that Ubuntu may disappear in the future? I DONT like Ubuntu but, if theres ONE distro that will NEVER "disappear"..... its Ubuntu.
What if Ubuntu disappears? Well...that seems like a very broad statement! I mean...what if Debian disappears? That's like saying, what if the world ends?
LMDE is great when you want pure community software that depends on one less (corpo driven) thing for better stability. I'm not saying plain Mint is bad, they maintain it as the main OS for a reason and they're doing a good job at it.

I'm waiting for the upgrade from Elsa to Fey... still wishing LMDE become the main line.
no driver manager is a problem
Been running LMDE5 since December of last year. It DOES update Flatpaks from the update manager.
Just use "window list" instead of "grouped window list". That way the "add to panel" menu works as expected, and only the currently active window is underlined with the accent color (which is important for me). That is the true classic functionality and it works perfect.
I'll look into that.
