Hm… LMDE is Debian under the hood, so if you have non standard requirements then you have to be flexible to make something to work, combining .deb repositories with other solutions like flatpaks, distrobox, compiling from source, nix, guix, appimages, etc. Just don’t mess with system directories and libraries and you’re good.
Maybe Mint were a better choice to a newbie, but in the end it’s almost the same thing with some nice driver utilities. Look for the release in December.

Well, I think I’ve actually messed with libraries some times when installing or trying to some programs x’d. Yeah, regular Mint was surely a better choice, but well, now that I’m on LMDE I don’t find a reason to switch to Mint. I prefer directly going dual-boot with a distro that solves the concrete issues I’m having, since in general LMDE is totally ok but has these specific “issues” in my personal case. Thanks!
