Stable is proof through testing on multitudes of machines in various scenarios. This is why you see Debian take forever. Mint is no more stable than its Ubuntu or Debian counterpart. It is not Mint XFCE that is being so unproblematic, it is XFCE. You don't find that same reliability so much when you are working with Cinnamon.

sudo apt-get install cinnamon
Micro wrote:First off I would like to say that I am very passionate about Debian. So please don't anyone be offended as my ranting begins. pam I would love to know what new hardware that doesnt work with Debian. Every worth while graphics card has Linux drivers. And the fact remains that installing the propriatary drivers yourself will get you the best experience anyways, regardless if on Ubuntu or Debian. Way easier to install on Debian. lol Last week I installed 13.04 on a spare laptop, just to give it a chance. Guess what? I had to manually install graphics driver and wireless driver. No biggie I would do the same for Debian. But what a slow less the pleasing experience it was. Just to open firefox took 15 seconds and nautilus was a dog too. Went right back to Debian the next week. I will put this as politely as possible, I feel bad for people that use Ubuntu. And for the eye candy, not an issue. Compiz works better on Debian. I would love to be proven otherwise. But the most important factor is, what Desktop is being used. I will literally put MATE on Sid against any Ubuntu and destroy it on every aspect. Stability, speed, and compiz runs so well you will think you were using an older Ubuntu. ( I remember the good old Ubuntu days. Sad times now) Ubuntu is and will become as wack as Windows is today. Just a tad bit quicker. For the experienced desktop users, Debian takes the cake. Oh I almost forgot. By the time Ubuntu users are done dealing with all the bugs of Ubuntu, your Debian desktop will still be running sound. And on half the resources too. And I'm sure all are wondering why I support Ultimate Edition. Well I use to be the kid waiting for every release of Ultimate Edition to come out. I would check Central every day after a new Ubuntu was released. Because I knew that Thee was going to turn it into a well driver supported, bad a$$ themed Ubuntu. And Ultimate Edition would always be better than Ubuntu release and save me time on getting it where I wanted. And that remains the fact today. But I just do not like what Ubuntu has become. And the more experienced I've become, leads more further away from Ubuntu. Iol I know I'm not alone, many other distro's have already switched to building from Debian. Gives them less time dealing with all the Ubuntu bugs. I mean really, what is the percentage of issues that is solely related to Ubuntu on these forums? That would be a shocking figure...
