Mate is pretty c00l. I think I'm going to install Mate MINT in a VM.

What is debian testing
>>52699111
>hating drake
fuk off gaylord
>>52699129
Something full of bugs (which is okay and expected). I installed Debian to test it yesterday, without changing or installing a single thing, switched my repos to testing, and after a simple apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade, X broke.
Fuck that, I'm waiting for Ubuntu 16.04. LTS and muh gaymen will work on it.
>>52699052
Linux Mint is pretty alright, family
>>52699194
does it run out of the box like winderp?
>>52699231
It does
>>52699231
Much better OOTB than winderp senpai. It includes pretty much all drivers, so it just werks, you don't even need to download them.
>>52699052
Linux Mint on my desktop, Lubuntu on my laptop.

>there are people who dont subject themselves to bloat (mint) on top of bloat (ubuntu) on top of a shit tier suicide linux distro (debian) and there are people who like having updated packages
holy shit, and you guys claim to hate arch users. you're the one giving our community a bad name.
>>52699382
>le I waste more time fixing my OS than doing work face
>>52699382
>you're the one giving our community a bad name.
No that's the elitist faggotry on your wiki/forums and the subcommunity of ricing scriptkiddies. That and the particular bunch of faggots on /g/ that need to hype pacman through the roof even though it's a piece of shit with obscure command names.
>people like things I don't like
FUCK
>>52699561
>>52699088
Stable isn't deprecated, mate. People that miss up to date packages should consider backports.
>>52699129
Don't ever use testing or unstable for your production environment. If you miss up to date packages, use backports.
>>52699052
>using mint instead of xubuntu
Good lord
>>52699136
What is so good about this negro minstrel? He only has this one hit
>>52699052
I require the use of some proprietary drivers, so I so not wish to pollute Debian. I live apt+dpkg so I use lubuntu instead of opensuse
>>52699079
Let me guess, you play video games on windows and consider typing out stuff in ms word and ms excel "real work"
>>52699052
Linux Mint is literally objectively inferior to Ubuntu. You get more delayed updates and worse support, and in return you get... a DE that you could just install on Ubuntu anyway.
>>52699917
What makes xubuntu better than mint Xfce?
>>52700278
Recommend a good distro to switch to.
t. Mint babby
>>52700378
Not him, but less upstream dependencies, for one. Mint relies on Ubuntu, which relies on Debian. Xubuntu uses the Ubuntu repositories, therefore only relies on Debian. That's just one of the reasons people tend to move to Debian after the Ubuntu or Mint stepping stone.
>>52700492
Ubuntu

he's domesticated
caring, sensitive, you know, the usual bullshit
basically gives SJWs hope that feral negroes, wild and violent, can be turned into neutered species, which can finally be allowed into civilised society without risking SJWs' soft pink asses being painfully repeatedly raepd
Like any of this shit matters, a true Linux-running gentlesir can get by just fine on any flavor of Linux.
As long as apt-get works, your faggotry is irrelevant.
Inb4 pacman/rpm/anus is superior

Why not just install Ubuntu to get all security patches on time and just install your shitty gnome spinoff if you really want it

But Linux Mint uses the same Ubuntu repos
>>52701156
Indirectly. Linux Mint has its own repositories http://packages.linuxmint.com/
It simply uses Ubuntu as its upstream provider.

What's wrong with that, though?

I'm using Xubuntu, got a problem fag?
Also Mint is for babbies
Mint on the home desktop.
CentOS (barebones) on the server. My shit runs beautifully even on very old hardware.
Raspbian on the pi.
Winderps 7 at work. Literally the only thing that I think keeps everybody on winderps these days is fucking Visio (which I absolutely must have for my IT job). Nothing in the linux world even comes close.

Mint is for people who want to do stuff on their computer other than screwing around with the OS.

You newbies hardly take any responsibility.
>>52701218
LMDE
>>52701103
Codecs and flash installed already
Best DE installed already
Best update manager
>>52706214
Yes, LMDE would be the exception. However, why would you choose LMDE over Debian?
>>52700241
>typing out stuff in ms word and ms excel "real work"
are you underage or have you never done anything outside of coding before?
>>52706381
small things, firefox in the main repo, believe mint's cinnamon is more recent, the update manager
>>52699052
I choose my distros based solely upon their logo
I'm just waiting until the daily builds for lubuntu 16.04 stop being fucked
>>52700492
lubuntu 14.04
never tried mint but apparently it's not too different, just fatter than lubuntu
>>52706455
>Firefox
What's wrong with Iceweasel? It has less bloat, telemetry, and Debian does a great job in patching it. Also http://mozilla.debian.net/
>Cinnamon
Yes, LMDE definitely has more up to date Cinnamon packages, as is to be expected given they're the maintainers of Cinnamon themselves. If you want bleeding edge Cinnamon, I can understand.
>Update manager
I'm not sure I follow. Debian also has an update manager.
