I’ll say this: if you get a system with reasonable performance, a Linux Mint based system is solid, visually pleasing, and has a good community behind it. On the other hand, comparing it side by side, the same system built straight from Debian, possibly with a few less resource intensive scripts and fancy graphics will reward you with better memory utilization, and under a careful eye, slightly better performance, though on a mid to high end system these factors are insignificant. Both Debian and Linux Mint are solid distributions.

Debian is the best specially for Window users (like I was ) and, specifically POP OS is a
beginner friendly which supports nice GUI.

I’ve been using Debian and Debian derived distributions since 2001 myself.

@tad let’s see in 1 month how it will be POP!_OS 26.04, I’m too curious to see Cosmic developing! As soon I’m an Xfce user, but System76 work is noticeable.
