From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If you leave alone the haters, Ubuntu is doing great. Mint LDME also fantastic if you wish to have a rock solid base.
Anything in particular I should be wary of switching from Mint to Mint DE?
LDME does not supports PPAs
What is in LMDE that isn't in plain Debian out of the box beyond branding?
LMDE comes with some nice packages that just make your life easier. It is basically Debian but… with sane defaults
Do you know which packages and what defaults? I've tried to find the differences but I can't really find what is different, except for wallpaper etc.
Been using Ubuntu for about 4 years now without issue. Even upgraded LTS versions without problems!
I upgraded LTS versions and it failed and left my system in a broken state I couldn't fix
events like these is how i learned to do back ups lol
It's doing great unless you want to debug why chromium is not connecting to your USB devices
Hint: because they forced snap in you which doesn't support USB access
