Is Linux Mint a desnapped Ubuntu? Or was that a one-off for Firefox?

Debian is a nice snapless alternative bc it'll generally run anything meant for Ubuntu. The only major downside is no PPAs

Seems to be about the precious release. Hope it still holds to their latest release as well

Ditched Windows when it was still Windows 8.1 for Linux Mint. I am still on Linux Mint and I have it installed on all my machines. Works out of the box. Not resources hungry. Helpful community on IRC. Good looking if you ask me. It also acts as a good filter against Ubuntu's experiments while benefiting from its widespread adoption. Never looked back.

I used to enjoy mint as well, however I heard some bad things about the security or lack of. But the usability and general polish was excellent.

Does anyone have up to date knowledge on mint's security situation?
