Although, speaking as a fan of Mint who used it as my "daily driver" for years, I think the time has come for them to switch from Ubuntu to Debian and embrace Wayland. I know that, if I'd stayed with Mint, I've have gone to LMDE by now.
I agree on both. The reason I left Cinnamon was because I had to use Waydroid, so I switched to plasma and never came back.
Linux Mint surely is disabling more "features" from Ubuntu than it's using at this point.
That's why some people at wondering why wont Mint not rebase to Debian, and go from there... would be better than 'repairing' everything Ubuntu breaks.
Only issue I can see with LMDE compared to the Ubuntu variant is that some of their homegrown tools and stuff aren't included in LMDE for whatever reason. But, if they shifted their focus to LMDE and added all the tools there to give you the proper Mint experience, I think it would be amazing.
