Linux Mint Debian Edition – LMDE 4 Debbie

Cool! I didn’t even know Linux Mint have a Debian Edition, so LMDE 4 Debbie released last Friday is a great opportunity to explore this.

I will try it in VirtualBox first, and expect to reinstall my Dell XPS 9380 laptop – right after I complete XPS post-configuration in Ansible.

Improvements in LMDE 4

Particularly useful LMDE 4 improvements for me on 4K laptop are:

  • NVMe support
  • HiDPI improvements
  • Home directory encryption
  • Debian 10 Buster package base

Can’t wait to try it – will be good to try Linux Mint once more before trying Ubuntu 20.04.
