If you like running a Linux Mint workstation, its mostly the same but built on Debian instead of Ubuntu. It came from their goal of making a version of Mint that doesn’t have any dependencies on Ubuntu.
All the nice bells and whistles that mint comes with: mostly cinnamon and the upgrade manager out-of-the-box. I’ve been using it for a few months, and I prefer it over stock debian and normal mint.
This I really like Debian but on my everyday “production” system I run LMDE. I still have Debian in all it’s glory but also all those small extra convince features and we’ll thought out defaults.
LMDE comes to mind
what advantage does it have over stock debian…?

I normally run debian but I ran LMDE for a couple years and thought it was nice.
afaik, it just looks prettier and gets Cinnamon sooner if you use that.
It still has all the normal debian quirks.
