From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Debian's packages are more up to date than those in Mint and PopOS. Why people always complain about Debian being out of date, but never complain about that with other distros is beyond me. I guess people just repeat what they hear or read without ever thinking for themselves. Some might call them sheeple, me I just become ever so slightly more disgruntled.
