I installed #debian and #vscode on my new laptop (on an external SSD for now). Of course vscode hangs at startup. Some posts say it can be fixed by deleting one of two keys from the key ring, but really?

I’m still tempted to try a rolling #linux #distro, but which one? I don’t want one that takes forever to install and manage, uses #xfce and doesn’t pre install hundreds of utilities and games I’ll never use. Oh and a nice theme too perhaps?

@YurkshireLad You might look at Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) 5. Comes with Cinnamon DE, which is clean and much-beloved by Mint fans. (Of course, you can install another DE like XFCE if you want.)

This was my daily driver for years until I switched to Ubuntu-based distros maybe 5 years ago...

LMDE 5 "Elsie" - Linux Mint

Linux Mint is an elegant, easy to use, up to date and comfortable desktop operating system.

@notroot thanks. I used Mint in the past but I want to try something else. I can’t remember if I used the Mate or Cinnamon desktop but there was something about it that didn’t ring with me. I can’t remember what that was though. #nomemory
