Mint is a goto debian distro, but I switched from Debian unstable to mint and my experience is worse. PulseAudio is wierd, when suspensing last 1 sec of audio loops, crashes, Mint is based on testing irc.

    Mint is based on Ubuntu. It’s not strictly tied to any Debian release channel?! There’s LMDE as well. That’s based on stable.

        Mint is very, very stable. However, not all hardware is compatible, especially since Mint is using older libraries. For most people, Mint is the best solution. For your hardware, it seems to be Debian-Unstable. I personally use both and I’m happy with both.
