Mint is a goto debian distro, but I switched from Debian unstable to mint and my experience is worse. PulseAudio is wierd, when suspensing last 1 sec of audio loops, crashes, Mint is based on testing irc.

    Mint is based on Ubuntu. It’s not strictly tied to any Debian release channel?! There’s LMDE as well. That’s based on stable.

        Mint is a good entry point for new users. Debian is great for servers, where most people have somewhat of an idea what they’re doing.
