It isn't actually a file manager. It is called a "file picker" and has been a reason to rant as long as I can remember, so close to a decade.

What a strange post in many ways.
During the year with LMDE5 I haven't faced any issues with it. I tried Debian 11 for a week and even an usable Rust-package (up-to-date) was pain to install. I'm not sure, but I claim that Mint Team updates some packages into the repo by themselves.
LMDE also includes flatpaks so they're up-do-date anyway.
It's very nice if you don't have Nvidia gpu. LMDE6 might even offer better support for Nvidia since Debian 12 allowed non-free drivers.
I use LMDE5 and promise of it being faster/snappier than regular isn't over estimated: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=374128
Do you have plans to go with LMDE6 when it's released?
You can configure Qutebrowser for that. In Qutebrowser the insert mode isn't that intuitive as in bloated browsers, but you get used to it.
My Qutebrowser uses Vim keys for scrolling and browsing, but in insert mode I use Emacs keybinds. Best of both worlds (for me).
With this pace your future will be brighter than sun!
Not at all. There are many many projects out there which should be killed anyway. Just stop using them.
Unfortunately I'm not. I'm running numerous Thinkpads until System76 releases their in-house produced Virgo laptop with hot-swappable mechanical keys and open source bios (Coreboot). It'll also have the trackpoint from Thinkpads.
I went from decade with dwm into Alpine + Sway and had zero issues. Actually the opposite, all the screen tearing and multi screen issues are now gone.
Hopefully LMDE6 is a game changer for the most popular first Linux distro. If the CosmicOS by System76 doesn't win that title.
My grandparents were 1,5 years with Mint but LMDE5 has now been for 10 months and it is awesome. Literally 0 issues since day 0 whereas Win7 and Win10 caused constant headaches for me over the phone.
I give you 3 options and you google them and choose the one which suits you the best. 1. Change the boot order in your bios (Mint drive first) 2. Install package 'os-prober' and then update-grub (Win10 will appear in Grub) 3. Install rEFInd to replace Grub and choose everytime which OS you want to boot (set timeout by yourself). Warning: theming the rEFInd is known to be addictive.
