iirc Mint removes a lot of Canonical's enshittification (i.e. snap) so... No. LMDE is more of an experiment for whenever 'cleaning' out Ubuntu turns to be much work or impossible, as a viable alternative. But right now, both Mint editions are acceptable and afaik the only difference is about using PPAs.

PS. I might be wrong, but this is what I learnt when I used those distros (around 2012-2014)
