I have never had a problem with LMDE. My mother has been using it for about a year now. I used to have to come solve Windows problems for her a couple times a year but she had never asked me for any help with LMDE.
It’s unlikely that an already properly installed bootloader just breaks. The base is Sid, Debian Unstable.
Just because breakage doesn’t happen all the time, there is still a higher than average chance. Sid is Debian’s beta test branch, not a rolling release distribution. It just wasn’t the right choice for the lady at the repair cafe.
I was corrected that LMDE is not based on Sid. I redact that part of my comments. The experience I had installing LMDE on a lady’s laptop at a repair cafe was as described, though.
