From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

May I ask why LMDE and not regular Linux Mint? In my experience, it is rock solid and handles nvidia pretty well, too
I was thinking about using something Debian-based since I love how reliable it is, though it seems I'll be better off installing regular Linux Mint.
if you are ok with an Ubuntu base (which these days is drifting further from its Debian base) then regular mint is great.
if forced...
not hating on ubuntu, its just been moving away from where I am at.
Probably gonna go with regular Mint, then. Thank you!
