Arch users have the latest softwares, Debian users have LMDE. Is it real that Arch users are rich and have mid level PCs and is always up to date? Well they don’t have Mint(debian edition). Dont need to ask if anyone using it tho cuz its Mint and Debian edition of a distro.
Yes and no. While some parts like the Cinnamon shell itself are available in Debian some environment tools (e.g. xed) are not available.
I don’t remember exactly whats also missing but in my personal experience the Cinnamon desktop on LMDE is way better and mor polished than on plain Debian.
