Mint is a goto debian distro, but I switched from Debian unstable to mint and my experience is worse. PulseAudio is wierd, when suspensing last 1 sec of audio loops, crashes, Mint is based on testing irc.

    i last used unstable back in 2007 and it wasn’t that much different that stable; has it gotten worse?

      Not at all. I didn’t mean to imply it was plagued with issues, but I did run into them every now and then. Nothing I couldn’t ever resolve either but it’s still not something I’d recommend to a novice unless they are open to potentially breaking their system in a way that may be unknown to them.

        i was thankful for those issues; it taught me A LOT about how Linux worked back then.
