By sheer coincidence, I just made an install image yesterday and will be switching soon
nice, Debian is more stable and you will have an easy switch, use the graphical install.
This is what really pisses me off about the Linux community. Everyone says the same thing about every distro, except Arch. That shits apparently for hardcore CLI only programmers or something.
Mint's whole paradigm is an OS that emphasizes stability and usability and you claim Debian is more stable even though it's the cutting edge base of an entire distro tree while Mint is 2 years behind it's Ubuntu base to ensure functionality? Make it make sense.
You're a little confused about how this stuff works. Debian is not cutting-edge.
E: btw "not cutting-edge" is neither inherently positive, nor inherently negative
Well Mint is based on Ubuntu (unless you get the Debian Edition) and Ubuntu is based on Debian sooo...
Basically the majority of Linux distros are based on either Debian, Fedora or Arch. IMHO it's usually best to go with one of the originals, not the derivatives. Although I will admit Ubuntu has made Debian a lot better over the years, but that's only because they took the bits from Ubuntu that actually made sense and ignored the rest.
