That's very probably right.  I do not know how Linux Mint depends on
Debian.  It could be quite heavily.  Fortunately, security is not the
prime concern.  Just basics.  I considered several times to go with
Arch Linux.  I used to build my own Linux systems using BLFS but those
were the days.  So much time not making music.  Arch Linux seems to
offer a good stance but then again, I can't at the moment estimate the
time that would be required to move to Arch Linux and the problem
associated with the move to get everything going.  Days ?  A week ?

Cheers.
