You directly replied to someone talking about LMDE.

Linux Mint Debian Edition, the current subject of discussion, is not.
Ubuntu is based on Debian though, not the other way around.
Agreed. And Canonical routinely tries to sneak snaps back in, to the point where the official Firefox instructions include instructions for pinning their deb repo above the Ubuntu one:

(see step 5)
ok fair
That is my personal preference, yes. But LMDE is the perfect overlap of “just use Mint” and “don’t use Ubuntu”.
