LMDE 6 "Faye"What is LMDE? LMDE is a Linux Mint project which stands for "Linux Mint Debian Edition". Its goal is to ensure Linux Mint can continue to deliver the same user experience if Ubuntu was ever to disappear. It allows us to assess how much we depend on Ubuntu and how much...
LMDE 6 is based on the latest Debian 12 Bookworm. Like Ubuntu LTS, there is usually a Debian release every two years or so, with the newest version of LMDE following suit a couple of months later. LMDE 6 was released in September 2023, just a couple of months after Debian 12. ...

The classical Debian-way (dist-upgrade) worked without any problem. Reply Pete Griffin September 23, 2012 at 8:11 pm Eek… I stupidly forgot about the update pack info to “Always choose “keep file” (as opposed to “install new version”)” and while the install has gone ok I have...
