If LMDE is built on Debian, should I download Zoom for Debian or Linux Mint?

Zoom isn't available through the software manager. Is there another place I can find a flatpak?

There is a Debian download available from here:
www.zoom.us
Pay particular attention to the below:
Download Center for Zoom Apps and Plugins | Zoom
Download Zoom apps, plugins, and add-ons for mobile devices, desktop, web browsers, and operating systems. Available for Mac, PC, Android, Chrome, and Firefox.

Geez, Brian - talk about great minds, lol. I just came here to say the same thing, but you said it and with a cute arrow, and I was also going to highlight the Feb 16, 2025 bit too.
Just a note to helpers is that Sherri's LMDE 6 is in a VM, so no need for Timeshifting prior to the exercise, is that correct, OP?

Maybe you taught me too well! I ran of of storage when I took the first SnapShot. I can increase the storage. I was getting tired and instructions to do so weren't making much sense so I quit for the day.
I also downloaded Fedora KDE Plasma last night. I'll put that in a second VM tomorrow or the next day
Something to consider, if you wish, is to exclude the LMDE6 VM from the snapshot taken.
If you wish to pursue that, let me know and I'll explain.
...when you are fresh, lol

I think I definitely want to do this. I'm think of these VM's as diisposeable computers. Until I find one I want to keep, I think one or two Snapshots stored on the virtual drive are plenty.
If you are saying what I think you are, namely, that you are, in the LMDE 6 VM, using Timeshift to take a snapshot ... not a lot of point in that, as you cannot access the snapshot if the Guest falls over.
If, in your Host (Linux Mint 22.1?) you are taking snapshots that include Home, the VM will be covered.
VM data is stored in, eg /home/Sherri/VirtualBox VMs/
Those snapshots can be accessed externally by using a Linux Mint 22.1 Live USB stick, as well as from Linux Mint 22.1 itself.
Follow?
Those "fresh" moments for me are getting fewer and farther between, the older I get. Brain Fatigue, big-time! Frankly, I worry a little about senility or Alzheimer's. But, that doesn't run in the family.
Maybe some exercise will help. I just set up my wife's old Fitbit. Hopefully, I'll get some motivation from it.

I could not agree more, with @Sherri is a Cats comment .... . "I think of these VM's as disposable computers."
I also think @bob466's approach of saving/moving the entire vm to an external drive is an absolute 'plus' The vm is saved via Timeshift snapshots which are taken regularly for the entire system, but the extra backup is a wise move.

I find shifting my focus to other things alleviates that. It may well be still on the pc......but away from whatever is "bogging me down'
