I used to use restic with scripting, then I discovered resticprofile, and swiftly replace all my scripts with it.

I also use Kopia as an alternative to Restic, in case some critical bugs happen to either one of them.
Personally, I've had some issues with Kopia.
I found their explanation here:

Still not solved after many years :(
Now I use Borg + Restic and I am happy

I had a hard time installing Mint on a computer a few years ago.
I ended up blaming it on my motherboard because I couldn't get anything to boot and I probably read a thread about it. Meanwhile any other linux distro seemed to work fine.
No idea though.
But since then, I haven't bothered with Linux Mint. Trying to stay closer to Debian and further away from Conical.

My thoughts are similar, therefore LMDE is the best choice!
Canonical's policy for several years goes into a bad side and reminds Microsoft more and more:
- He pushes to users with his sick ideas ONLY because of a business, for example many violations of privacy, spying for Amazon, Unity, obsessive forcing snaps (because they completely control the repository) ... etc. Here read more: https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Host_Operating_System_Selection#...
- Ubuntu with every new version is getting worse and has more and more bugs, And with them all Ubuntu derivatives
- The publishing cycle issuing new versions using the force method at a fixed time limit, even when it is not fully ready and has full of unprotected errors (only marketing counts)
- LTS promises support and fixing errors, but does not keep the word and there are security errors never fixed
- Additional broker between Debian -> Ubuntu -> Mint increases the surface of attacks and errors in comparison to Debian -> Mint.
- Debian has been a bigger reputation from Ubuntu for many years. after all, Ubuntu is a derivative of Debian, only broken along the way!
- The LMDE team makes a fantastic job, but LMDE is poorly visible in the galaxy and is very underestimated.
LMDE = All the best of Debian + all the best from Mint!
