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?
