Please don't say Bazzite as I wasn't able to get SteamVR working on it. I'm looking for alternatives. The current plan is to try plain old Ubuntu instead.

Yep, that's absolutely true. They mentioned LMDE however, which is based on Debian, meaning it's independent from Canonical.

Sure, parts of the project have nothing to do with Canonical...exactly the same as Fedora 🤣

Ubuntu is based on Debian though, not the other way around.

[-] just_another_person@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Yeah, and Mint is based on Ubuntu. What's your point here? I'm confused.

[-] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 months ago

Linux Mint Debian Edition, the current subject of discussion, is not.

[-] lordnikon@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Or you could just use Debian

[-] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

That is my personal preference, yes. But LMDE is the perfect overlap of "just use Mint" and "don't use Ubuntu".

When did this suddenly change topics from the original post and thread?

[-] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

You directly replied to someone talking about LMDE.
