Why do people here always recommend 'buntu Mint instead of LMDE?

stop being a fucking hipster

>adding PPA is not allowed
Why not just use Debian?
>>51800659
This is basically Debian for beginners so I don't see why it isn't recpmmended more.
>>51800659
I picked LMDE because of the one size fits all installer, which is easier to run from an USB.
>>51800659
I don't like the compile flags debian uses, other distros even ubuntu use much more secure compile flags for their software.
are there any statistics of market share between linux DEs?
Does the installer come with the option for full disk encryption already, like Linux Mint has?
>>51802644
There is DistroWatch's popularity-based listing but it's based on how many hits the distro gets in their own site.
>>51802599
Really? I had no idea. Can you give some examples?
>>51802644

thats not what i was thinking, i mean unity, kde etc user share, not distros
>>51802703
There's nothing like that.
I highly doubt anything can compete with Ubuntu, Debian and CentOS in terms of userbase.
>>51802728
I didn't know that CentOS is as popular as that.
