Are you a mind reader, cause you said everything in my mind exactly as it is.
telling you to do the ONE thing they were requested NOT to suggest
Infuriating stuff.
Thank you for understanding.
Also some other person suggested installing basic debian and then install Cinnamon DE. By doing this, you can get the perks of Cinnamon(updates, kernal updates, software manager etc…) and minimalism of Debian. I don’t know how true it is though. I’m gonna try it on a VM.
