That's why I go for boring distros like Fedora

    Mint based on Ubuntu or Debian? Debian mint is probably the most boring … and stable and great for anyone who just wants a computer to work.

    Isn't it based on Ubuntu which is based on Debian? It's my first time using Linux and I switched a couple of weeks ago so I'm not sure to be honest but the website[1] states:

    Based on Debian and Ubuntu, [...]

    Which leaves me just as confused.

    LMDE is the version of linux mint based on Debian rather than Ubuntu. It is missing a few features over the main version but it wont randomly shit the bed because of a bad ubuntu package.

    What the other person wrote isn't quite true: there is a current version of Linux Mint based on Ubuntu (which is itself based on Debian) and another current version based directly on Debian for those who want to avoid Ubuntu.

    Originally it was based on Ubuntu, which is itself based on Debian. But recently they based directly on Debian. There are some differences. Debian based is more stable with older packages and kernel.

    Back when I started Linux, poking at the system was fun and exciting (also you had to poke at the system anyway if you wanted to run anything). Now, I just want it out of the way and convenient.

    I understand that newcomers might feel that they want to touch everything because it's all new and shiny, but I think the OS ought to be a creature of the shadows.

    Lemmy always seems downvote heavy. Why don’t you like fedora?

    The upvotes mean some other people too don't like Fedora like me. Nothing more than that.

    A distro can be perfect for some and, at the same time, hated by some others. That's normal.

    Why it's not for me. Reasons:

    Maintained by a corporation. Probably it's their testing ground.

    Too much bloatware is preinstalled.

    Too many updates, just like Arch. But arch feels more cleaner and faster anyway.

    Require rpm fusion.

    Crashes often.

    There is always a connectivity issue on RPM Fusion servers.

    Heavily depended upon flatpak.

    Many applications don't have native Fedora packages or repos.
