Standard Linux mint is is Ubuntu based, LMDE is debian based. Completely different depending on the issues they had.
Edit: but also plenty of other Debian based distros, including Debian itself would avoid direct Ubuntu (Canonical) and Fedora (RedHat) influence.
There is a vast difference between a community driven project like Debian taking small contributions from people who happen to be in Israel/incorporating some things from RedHat after lots of vetting and diluting and Fedora being a direct upstream testing ground for RedHat who are the primary contributors and maintainers.
No, this type of approach will not lead to you throwing your PC in the trash, it will simply lead to you being more aware of your software and how it functions,what it contributes to, and what contributes to it. Which is a good thing imo.
For example, I use LMDE. Yes, there are most definitely contributions from redhat in my machine. the difference is between
RedHat engineers -> Fedora.
And
RedHat engineers -> Fedora -> Upstream Project acceptance-> Debian -> LMDE.
I'm not saying you need to stop using Fedora. But everyone draws a line somewhere and I'm simply making my knowledge on this known for people who's line may be in a similar place to mine.
It's worth noting that fedora is heavily sponsored by RedHat (a subsidiary of IBM) and is the upstream testing ground for RHEL (Redhats commercial offering). RedHat also has close ties to Israels government and it's military.
This is a huge dealbreaker for someone like me so I feel it's necessary to mention.
I'm appealing to OPs authority and not including a Fallacy in this comment.

Oh shit...
Linux Mint Debian Edition.
You say not to suggest mint, but you most probably used an Ubuntu based Mint so that doesn't count.
Linux Mint Debian Edition.
Obviously you can't completely rid yourself of all RedHat influence but Fedora is their literal upstream community testing ground and LMDE really does limit their influence heavily and that of Canonical (Ubuntu) by just building off of the more community based Debian (which Ubuntu built off of as well)
So are you suggesting fascists and fascist movements should not be restrained via group with power and control over them but people just not accepting them is fine?
There are other options. Join a socialist org and organize/eductate within your workplace and community.
You don't have to vote for a Democrat.
People have been voting Democrats the whole time on our path to where we are, it didn't stop us from being doomed. We had 2 Obama terms right before Trump 1, then we had a Biden term between Trump 1 and 2 and it stopped/fixed nothing.
There is no need for Zionism in a world where Jewish people can live peacefully anywhere.
Global anti-Semitism is nothing but helpful to Zionism, so they encourage it. When you see them equating Zionism with Judaism during this genocide, don't think for a second they don't know it makes it more dangerous for Jews around the world.
If not for Communism the Shen Yun wouldn't have had to perform child labor under brutal conditions to show what China was like before communism smh.
You think just calling something stupid is a good argument deserving of a proper intellectual rebuttal?
I don't think your opinion on someone's intellect is of much value if that's the case.
By what metric?
China has the world's largest HSR network at 45,000KM, 15x that of Japan's 3,000KM network.
Chinas fastest regular use line is 350KM/h. Japan's is 320KM/h.
(AFAIK) China is the only country with an operational maglev line (in Shanghai). A 30KM line at 430KM/h. While Japan's Maglev is still under construction.
So what are the metrics that Japan's rail system cooks China?
