   Transparency: I'm a big fan of LM and its extras, I'm not a fan of some   
   of Ub's decisions such as Snap and particularly not its flagship Gnome,   
   so I would be somewhat biased in my view of his comparison, but some of   
   the result was 'predictable'.   
      
   LMDE is based on Deb *stable*.  Ub is based on Deb *testing* plus   
   tweaked into Ub repo/s.  Doh.  I wonder which is going to be more   
   stable. kernel 6.5 vs 6.1   
      
   LM incl DE is all about making its desktops 'similarly' polished based   
   on the fact that they have dropped anything that isn't based on gtk's   
   toolkits and that LM Cinnamon 'polish' of the flagship LM Cinnamon is   
   'transferred' to the LMDE which has /only/ the Cinn DE.   
      
   So, in a sense, in a half-hearted 'defense' of the Ub Cinn 'team', it   
   isn't' /exactly/ a fair comparison and we could predict that they would   
   come up short.   
      
   I also find that 'bloat' in the Ub release 'unnecessary' and unwanted:   
   LMDE 2.5G UbCinn 5.9G.
