For me it’s PeppermintOS.

I started my Linux adventure a few years ago, and haven’t owned a Windows PC since.

I currently use Arch on my main rig, and I wanted to install Linux on two old laptops that I found laying around in my house

I then remembered the first distro I ever used, which is PeppermintOS, and I was amazed at the latest updates they released.

They even have a mini ISO now to do a net-install with no bloat, with a Debian or Devuan base.

Sadly, I believe the founder passed away a few years ago, which is why I was really happy to see the continuation of this amazing project.

    Linux Mint Debian Edition.

    Like Peppermint this is a fantastic distro for anyone wanting to use Debian without the pain of self installing. Plus you always have the latest cinnamon.

    It’s also good for anyone wanting to get away from Ubuntu all together.

    I’d also like to get away from the stigma that mint is only a newbie distro. It’s not. It’s full fat Linux so pros can use it too, and should. It’s very reliable, fast and use friendly.

    Above all, it’s true FOSS and LMDE is 100% community 💪
