Linux Mint devs still think it's better to use Ubuntu as their base distro and not plain Debian... (source: several scattered replies by Clement Lefebvre to user comments in several of the official blog posts)
they routinely check Debian out as their plan B by maintaining LMDE - Linux Mint Debian Edition
they also have a strong opinion on Snaps vs. Flatpaks and native (apt) packages:
Linux Mint offers a kernel updates management gui similar to (imho better than) UKUU but based on kernel.ubuntu.org kernels so it's usually shipping the same kernel as its base Ubuntu LTS edition and offers all HWE kernel versions as soons as made available by Canonical... plus they did start offering an "edge iso" with the HWE kernel so newer hardware can enjoy LM liveboot isos too without going through hoops
