Debian is not a good distro for the tech illiterate. The point of Linux Mint is to be a good entry point for people to Linux, some will stick to it and that's fair cause it's a good distro, some may move past it. Debian isn't very friendly to noobs. Ubuntu is just garbage, I'd love it to be good but snaps are just that awful.

I stuck with it because it worked and I could do all my electronics, software, 3dp development. It's kind of nice to mostly forget about the OS and just get projects done.
