If someone could port AUX’s UI, that would be perfect.
And as a fellow System 6/7 fan, it’s love, not masochistim. Long live the spatial Finder!
You couldn’t throw a ball without hitting something branded as “Open” in that era.
Stable means different things in different contexts.
Debian being stable is like RHEL being stable. You’re not jury talking about “doesn’t crash”, you’re talking about APIS, behaviours, features and such being assured not to change.
That’s not necessarily a good thing for a general purpose desktop, but for an enterprise workstation or server, yes.
So it’s not so much that Debian would replace Fedora, it’s the Debian would replace RHEL or CentOS. For a Fedora equivalent, there’s Ubuntu and the like.
Debian Stable.

Did you use the Debian edition of Mint? Debian doesn’t include a lot of proprietary drivers and/or firmware blobs with its standard edition.
I can’t say that’s the case here, but it’s possible that Mint is either using Debian as a base, or at least following the Debian Free Software Guidelines.
There’s usually a nonfree firmware deb you can use, post installation. If you can complete the install and connect to the internet via the 7480’s Ethernet port, you should be able to get the wifi card working.
Oh, if only that were true.
