What doesn't work I just download LMDE5 from the Linux Mint website created a bootable usb and booted it as a Live CD/DVD.
I don't care for Linux Mint so I didn't try to install it.
No offense intended Linux Mint fans.

Review.
Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) 5 is Here with Debian 11 'Bullseye'
Linux Mint’s offering with Debian is always an exciting release to look forward to. In case you did not know, LMDE is meant to act as a replacement if Ubuntu ever disappears. So, whether you like or hate Ubuntu as a base, you have an impressive alternative without compromising

LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) 5 "Elsie" Is Now Available for Download - 9to5Linux
LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) 5 "Elsie" is now available for download based on Debian GNU/Linux 11 "Bullseye" and the Cinnamon 5 desktop.

I used etcher to create my bootable usb.
I got it to boot into a Live CD and that was as far as I went.
Seems to have some issues according to Linux Mint forums.
Peppermint OS and MX 21 are my choice over LMDE 5 because I prefer Xfce DE over Cinnamon DE.
I sure LMDE 5 is as good as previous LMDE versions.
I was curious what @Leonardo_B meant "it did not work for me".

Peppermint is a good alternative, but you can always change the desktop in LMDE to XFCE once installed, [that's what I did on the test rig for LMDE4]
I have just downloaded LMDE5 and will try it on a test rig [64 bit] and a netbook [32 bit] over the neat few days and let you know if it has any problems.

OK. So run test installation on both my 32bit netbook and my 21yr old 32 bit travel mate, both just scrape minimum performance requirements, LMDE5 on both machines loaded fine although slowly, and works without issue. Not as fast as MX-32 or Peppermint 10 respin but it does work.

My only Mint on bare metal is LMDE 5. I will have to look into it.
I'll have to figure out the upgrade path, if there is one. I pretty much despise having to do a clean install to upgrade. I didn't even like it when I had to do it with Lubuntu - and put it off until one week of the final deadline.

Okay everyone even though I don't care for Cinnamon DE I went ahead and installed LMDE 5 onto bare metal and it does run well.
I need to do a few system tweaks and tuning and remove some default software I will say that LMDE 5 is as good as it's previous releases.
Guess I'll run it for a bit and see how it tickles my fancy.
I wish these developers would just release a base distro and let the user choose and install the software the user wants and needs.
Guess you take it the way it comes huh.

I might get it another shot in expert-mode. my only problem is installing it . get where you coming from . I to think they need a base distro with no desktop and i add the desktop i want /programs. even tho i like xfce for most of my machines. I do not want xfce on all . I would not mind a 100% working awsome wm. sadly the Synaptic Package Manager does not work when I try to make awsome wm work in linux mintOkay everyone even though I don't care for Cinnamon DE I went ahead and installed LMDE 5 onto bare metal and it does run well.

I've found it best to remove unwanted default software one piece at a time using Synaptic Package Manger.put this script in your terminal it will remove most un needed programs

Using scripts as above can sometimes remove needed dependencies which are necessary for other software to run properly.
Some necessary dependencies are shared with other default software so caution is advised when removing default software.
This is why, at the time, I preferred peppermint. I could make it how I wanted it.. . .

AntiX has a Base install option, and MIYO is all "Making It Your Own" (see Devuan)

I still prefer any distro which offers a base install to get started so the user can choose what to install.
Actually Antix base comes with quite a bit of default software which I'll never use so I always go for the core ISO.
I'll have to get over there and have a gander at Devuan "Make It Your Own" sounds pretty neat.

Download MiyoLinux for free. A very minimal Linux OS based on Devuan and various Window Managers. VERY IMPORTANT: If you are installing MiyoLinux for the first time or if you are a current user, please see the announcement in the following link so that you will be able to update your system...
