No, honestly, this is a great explanation. That’s how I basically thought it works, but I’m very new to the ecosystem, and didn’t want to make assumptions.

Okay, I understand that Linux Mint can be Ubuntu or Debian… But as a Mint user, would these changes even take place on my end? I don’t entirely understand how these versions are forked. I don’t believe I use Ubuntu… But is mint just built on a new Ubuntu infrastructure?

Can someone smarter than me please help? Lol
