Obviously this is somewhat subjective, but I’ve had a lot of problems in my previous attempts to switch to Linux, so I’d like to create a list of distros to try out, and see what works for me. I’m mostly expecting to be doing basic office work and light gaming via Steam.
Does that mean that the packages available to LMDE are older?
Potentially I honestly don’t follow it enough. They might use Debian testing or some for newer packages.
