LMDE 6 “Faye” released! – The Linux Mint Blog
blog.linuxmint.com

LMDE 6 has been officially released. The big deal about this is that it’s based on the recently released Debian 12 and also that being based on Debian LMDE is 100% community based.

If you’ve been disappointed by what the Linux corporations have been doing lately or don’t like the all-snap future that Ubuntu has opened, then this is the distro for you.

I’m running it as my daily driver and it works exactly like the regular Mint so you don’t lose anything. Clem and team have done a great job, even newbies could use Debian now.

Personally I think LMDE is the future of Linux as Ubuntu goes it’s own way, and this is a good thing for Mint and the Linux community. Let’s get back to community distros and move away from the corps.

EDIT: LMDE is 64bit only. There is no 32bit option.

    I tried the beta and liked it. The only issue I ran into was that the MozillaVPN app wasn’t working on debian.

    I also had not seen much progress on the Debian version of the app from what I found. I could be wrong as that was my first dip into Debian.

    Mullvad is available and I might switch to that at a later time when the motivation strikes me.

    I prefer the idea of community driven projects though.
