Won't speak for other Ubuntu-dependent, but Mint is safe, considering LMDE:This is why Mint (and perhaps several other flavours) will ultimately fail unless it stops clinging on to Ubuntu (and goes pure Debian). The bloat is insane.
I used to use LMDE 5 and set up two (not mine tho) laptops with LMDE 6. Basically the same Mint but free of Ubuntu-inherited limitations and problemsWhat is LMDE?
LMDE is a Linux Mint project which stands for "Linux Mint Debian Edition".
Its goal is to ensure Linux Mint can continue to deliver the same user experience if Ubuntu was ever to disappear. It allows us to assess how much we depend on Ubuntu and how much work would be involved in such an event. LMDE is also one of our development targets, as such it guarantees the software we develop is compatible outside of Ubuntu.
