I really like mint although i never used it again.
Pros using mint :
Cons using mint :
KDE has been hogging no resources for ages now, it's really snappy even on not so powerful machines!
Debian based is alright, I'm more against it for being based on Ubuntu. Also con: apt
Really not that bad nowadays.
There is an official Debian-based edition of Mint: LMDE. It's what I use.
yeah I run kde on my 12yo laptop and it's smooth
Cons: It's not Debian
That’s what LMDE is for :)
That's still not Debian ;)
