One category missed though, is oldsters like me who started on slack or yggdrassyl, lived on Debian for a decade, and moved to Mint because, eh, feck it, I don’t want to think about configs anymore.
That said, I use mint for my daily, and Debian for anything that does headless work.
I dunno… It’s wearing a little more makeup I suppose. It has more dumb user things working out of the box, last I checked. Differentiating them has worked well enough for me that I haven’t done a deep comparison in many years.
I feel seen. Descriptions were apt.

What does Mint bring that makes you choose it over Debian on the desktop?
