    At the level I use the operating systems, #LinuxMint and #LMDE are functionally identical. Things no doubt differ at a deep level, but the deepest thing I do is paste the update command for #Calibre into the terminal.

    Programs in the Software Managers have different versions, however. I use #CopyQ #ClipboardManager and #KDEKate #TextEditor. Linux Mint has CopyQ 6.0.1 and Kate 21.12.3, while LMDE has 6.4.0 and 22.12.3. Both have little annoyances in LMDE.
