LMDE 4 “Debbie” – BETA Release

This is the BETA release for LMDE 4 “Debbie”.

LMDE 4 Debbie

LMDE is a Linux Mint project which stands for “Linux Mint Debian Edition”. Its goal is to ensure Linux Mint would be able to continue to deliver the same user experience, and how much work would be involved, if Ubuntu was ever to disappear. LMDE is also one of our development targets, to guarantee the software we develop is compatible outside of Ubuntu.

LMDE aims to be as similar as possible to Linux Mint, but without using Ubuntu. The package base is provided by Debian instead.

System requirements:

• 1GB RAM (2GB recommended for a comfortable usage).
• 15GB of disk space (20GB recommended).
• 1024×768 resolution (on lower resolutions, press ALT to drag windows with the mouse if they don’t fit in the screen).

Notes:

• The 64-bit ISO can boot with BIOS or UEFI.
• The 32-bit ISO can only boot with BIOS.
• The 64-bit ISO is recommended for all modern computers (Almost all computers sold since 2007 are equipped with 64-bit processors).

Upgrade instructions:

• This BETA release might contain critical bugs, please only use it for testing purposes and to help the Linux Mint team fix issues prior to the stable release.
• It will be possible to upgrade from this BETA to the stable release.

Bug reports:

• Bugs in this release should be reported on Github at https://github.com/linuxmint/lmde-4-cinnamon-beta/issues.
• Create one issue per bug.
• As described in the Linux Mint Troubleshooting Guide, do not report or create issues for observations.
• Be as accurate as possible and include any information that might help developers reproduce the issue or understand the cause of the issue:
  • Bugs we can reproduce, or which cause we understand are usually fixed very easily.
  • It is important to mention whether a bug happens “always”, or “sometimes”, and what triggers it.
  • If a bug happens but didn’t happen before, or doesn’t happen in another distribution, or doesn’t happen in a different environment, please mention it and try to pinpoint the differences at play.
  • If we can’t reproduce a particular bug and we don’t understand its cause, it’s unlikely we’ll be able to fix it.
• Please visit https://github.com/linuxmint/Roadmap to follow the progress of the development team between the BETA and the stable release.
