Bookworm was the first shot at modernizing Debian, and Trixie is the continuation. Just like how 32 bit support is going away, physical cd install is probably on its way out too. Yes, they should probably rename the ‘CD’ install, but if you’re still installing on physical discs, just like 32 bit support you should probably have been looking at other install methods a decade ago.

Hi,

The difference between LMDE and plain Debian 13 mainly comes down to Mint’s customizations and user experience — not so much the base packages, since LMDE 7 (when it comes) will indeed share the same Trixie package base. Both are great options. However, in terms of user-friendliness, LMDE is the way to go for a few reasons – you get Mint’s Cinnamon desktop preconfigured, plus Mint tools and Mint-specific defaults. In short, LMDE is essentially “Debian Stable + Mint experience”.

Exactly, how annoying. They should do what FreeBSD does and have a USB stick image with tools to netinstall (so what is already the 754MB “CD” image), a real CD image that’s under 700MB and is more minimal, and a DVD image that’s complete without the need for an internet connection (under 4.7GB).
