Linux Mint Debian Edition 6 Released

Written by Michael Larabel in Operating Systems on 27 September 2023 at 08:00 AM EDT. 22 Comments

Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) 6 has been released as the latest version of this Linux Mint derivative that is based on upstream Debian rather than Ubuntu.

Linux Mint Debian Edition continues to serve as a hedge against the possibility in the future Linux Mint is unable to continue being based on Ubuntu's package set. Linux Mint Debian Edition 6 upgrades to using Debian 12 as its package base while adding the Cinnamon desktop and the other Linux Mint extras atop.
