The advantage is only stability and that you don't have to reinstall every half a year but you have not the advantages of a semi-rolling release model, the balance of stability and security. So the UPs in LMDE is not a rolling release nor a semi-rolling release model. He also said in the blog, that their UPs are handled as snapshots not as rolling release. But how Clem said, the priority of the UPs is stability and not security. Chromium and Google Chrome have a sandbox, but it don't work now with LMDE, so with that UP range of half a year you have to live 3 or 4 month without that sandbox. your private data in the user space can also be accessed by browser security holes. From wheezy on you have now also apparmor, this is already a improvement. For example PCLinuxOS and Chakra Linux work in this way. This should be the advantage of a semi-rolling release model, the base is kept stable and security relevant programs are updated.

When you don't update firefox you will miss the security updates and bug fixes.

What is the point in having the very latest version of a software ? Did you see any difference between FF21 and FF23 (from the casual user point of view) ? LMDE may not be perfect on this point but it fully satisfies my needs.

Though the frequency update is quite low, I appreciate the fact that I do not have to re-install everything once or twice a year, and tweak the fresh install to my needs (LXDE, remove/install a bunch of software. The situation in UP7 isn’t ideal as both Gnome Shell and Cinnamon depend on gjs and they need different versions of it… I’ll explain more about this problem (there’s a workaround for it, but it’s not ideal) in the UP release notes. From a technical point of view Cinnamon 2.0 is also important to LMDE because it uses its own backend and its own Javascript interpreter.
so the improvements featured in Mint 16, as well as MATE 1.8 and Cinnamon 2.0, we want to have all of that in the next ISOs. When the time comes to work on new ISOs, we want to put in them all the things we’re currently working in. Our priority with UP7 is to update the base for existing users. New ISOs will come post-Mint 16 (also likely with a new UP8). ElementaryOS and Bodhi went already this way. With the disadvantage of a 9 month support, i ask, why not only stick with Ubuntu LTS for the main edition? That would be better for the main edition and for LMDE. When you make UPs more frequently it will break Cinnamon, because Cinnamon is developed for the Ubuntu base and the Ubuntu base has a half a year development cycle. Ok, this is my point of view, that has to be discussed. SolydXK fulfill this purpose, but in my opinion not the UPs of LMDE. The advantage of a semi-rolling-release model is the balance of stability, security and cutting edge. įor me half a year to wait for UPs is to long, you lose the advantages of a semi-rolling-release model. But also Debian has its advantages, it will be there also the next 10 years, Ubuntu perhaps not. I have still LM KDE LTS on my other partition and the advantages with the ubuntu base are the ppa repositories. or LMDE will release the UPs more frequently. Perhaps Debian CUT will come again to life. After some tweaks it runs good now, hope SolydX will survive the next years. I tweaked Xfce with Compiz and it looks very nice, runs faster than Cinnamon. For that i removed Cinnamon and installed Xfce.
