Today, Linux Mint developers have released a new version of the Debian-based LMDE operating system. The distribution code name is 'Cindy' and anyone interested can find the download link at the end of the post. 
LMDE in the 3 version aims to be as close to Linux Mint as possible, but without using Ubuntu as a base.
LMDE 3 is based on Debian Stretch and the official announcement states:
