  • Thanks so much for the informative and detailed reply. That pretty much answers every question.

    Thanks also for the tip about LMDE. I actually really like Mint, I’m only switching because it’s the only distro I’ve tried and I feel like I should shop around a bit. Going to Debian because while starting my journey I want to shop around with things that work, rather than having to learn how to tinker all at once just to get things running. But if I decide I need Mint back I’ll probably check out LMDE for the hell of it.


  • Can you expand on this a little for a new guy who is considering a switch from Mint to Debian?

    In my understanding Firefox ESR is like a stable, longstanding version that doesn’t get frequent little updates but still gets occasional large updates. (Like 1.0, 1.1, etc. rather than 1.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2, etc.)

    Is there a measurable difference in the user experience and or security of ESR?

    And is Debian actually restricted to ESR?
