Originally was going to go with Debian 13 + Cinnamon DE, but figured I'd prefer the tighter integration with Cinnamon that LMDE brings, plus several other features that make it really great for a desktop. It's still Debian under the hood, which is exactly what I want.

I'm assuming it has something to do with LibreWolf. It breaks so many things and it's tough to keep track of them. In any case, it's a feature called Delivery Optimization that sends parts of Windows Updates to other PCs on your network (and potentially the internet...). Opt-out by default.

Third time's a charm... hopefully.
