For many years, I’ve been using Debian 
but installing Ubuntu 
for others, fearing that Debian was too geek.
I spent hours "desenshitificating" Ubuntu.
After the Nth failed upgrade, I reconsidered.
Oh boy!
The Debian 13 GNOME live image is clean, polished, easy and perfect ! Install was a breeze, even with complex partitions. I only added a couple of gnome-shell extensions : dash2dock and desktop-icons.
Debian just works like I dreamed it should 25 years ago! Thanks Debian!
@ploum I aligned with you on #Ubuntu having all kind annoying things like Snap. I prefer #LinuxMint ship with Cinnamon, easy to migrate Windows users on it. I would say the difference of LinuxMint over #Debian is
* Ubuntu deb versions so much more up to date than Debian stable
* That's helping on the software/hardware compatibility ( compatible deb, and more recent kernel supported )
For a stable system and long support #Debian is amazing
