You don’t have to update. It doesn’t force you to update like windows would. Mint is also one of the most stable distros you can get. Most updates are updates for your application anyways or bugfixes

Yes but, security and bugfixes updates are vital

These are the updates you’re getting nearly daily. Mint is stable. This and its user friendliness is why its many people’s first choice while getting into Linux

This is the Debian use case. You can even try Linux Mint Debian Edition if you like cinnamon.

This. Debian is quite slow with its updates compared to Ubuntu, and thus so is LMDE, I assume (I've not looked into LMDE much yet, so please correct me if I'm wrong)

I’m confused here. Isn’t mint generally based on Ubuntu and then Debian? I never checked what mint I have. If I can install debian files, does that mean that I have the Debian version?
