    Interesting aside for anyone interested; you can subscribe to her Peertube account with your Lemmy account by searching !veronicaexplains@tinkerbetter.tube in your instance’s search bar (or clicking that link). Then any video she uploads in the future will show up in your lemmy feed, and any comments you leave on lemmy should show up on the peertube video! :D

      and any comments you leave on lemmy should show up on the peertube video!

      This is cool to see. Unfortunately, we from Lemmy can’t see comments posted by peertube or mastadon users. AFAIK, federation in Lemmy still needs improvement to interact with mastodon posts/comments.

      Have there been many posts in the past month? I only see one 3 weeks ago, not sure if it’s a federation issue

        I’m not sure if the lemmy page will fill out with her previous uploads, I can only see the one about SSH on my feed too. She seems to upload fairly regularly, and this latest video about Linux Mint was uploaded 20 hours ago. I suspect if you’re the first person to subscribe on your instance, only future videos will show up on it, but I’m not entirely sure.

    I moved to LMDE 6 when it came out, moving over from regular Mint. It’s so nice and boring… Which is exactly how I like my computer to be.

    Having worked with the Mint team directly in the past, I can assure you LMDE is last priority for them without as much polish, as it exists as a backup option in case something happens to Ubuntu. This boils down to Ubuntu vs Debian with some mint userland on top.

      It’s basically an extra layer of polish to make Debian as user-friendly as can be, which while being very pleasant to work with for experienced users, is likely to be particularly appreciated by those who are not particularly technically inclined. As an example, the Mint Software Store is pretty much unmatched as a stable, and extremely user friendly way to manage and install software, with reviews, Flathub integration, screenshots, etc. Where as on standard Debian, the GUI package manager would likely be Aptitude, which is quite a daunting piece of software for the uninitiated.

      You could make a vanilla Debian install as user friendly as Mint, but you’d already have to have the skill to get it to that state, where as Mint is ready out of the box.

      In theory, faster updates compared to Debian Stable.

      I haven’t compared the repos directly though so I’m not sure what the current differences are specifically.
