LMDE comes with some nice packages that just make your life easier. It is basically Debian but… with sane defaults

Out of the box brother, go with no worries

it was exactly flashing a windows laptop, no difference whatsoever :)

Thank you!

Can you still install extensions in GNOME? I hate the defaults

Yeah dude, I am not a fan of discord and resisted for years but had to do an account on a couple of servers… thanks for sharing those!

Discord

Yeah that is objectively sweet

Can’t you pick it up from Synaptic?

Yeah, the idea is something simple and stable. Stable because I don’t want to babysit the OS (I already do that at work), and simple so my wife can also use it in case of need. She only know windows so anything the comes close in terms of UI is “ok” for her. The real choice was between KDE or cinnamon. Eventually opted for Mint/Debian

Nah dude, I never understood why some people get their kicks by being nasty online :)

Yeah WiFi requires proprietary drivers… it is less of an issue in 2024 as even purist distro like Debian now ship with those. The screen bug sounds annoying though… on which iMac did you experience this?
