Debian + Xfce on the desktop, because it (mostly, see below) just works, it’s snappy, reliable, and I don’t need my apps being constantly updated (I have very simple needs and use cases)
Mint + Cinnamon on the laptop, because it’s still debian-based and because unlike Debian Mint was able to connect my AirPods out of the box and I use them a lot when on the laptop… I also quickly learned to appreciate Cinnamon, I must say.
I wonder what you will think of lmde its linux mint with a debian base instead of ubuntu (It keeps some stuff for eg the desktop updated).
I’ve seen lmde mentioned on Mint website but if I recall correctly they also presented it like a somewhat experimental version?
LMDE is snappy as hell and stable as a rock
