       @Tesseks It's a good distro IMHO. I've used it a lot in the past and it was really useful and helpful in getting me onto Linux full time.

       @Tesseks Mint has an excellent reputation. It offers 3 desktop environments -- MATE, XFCE, Cinnamon.  Cinnamon is the most modern, developed and maintained in-house.  There's a focus on gradual refinement rather than adoption of shiny new things.Mint maintains a small number of packages itself,  The other packages available to a Mint user are installed directly from Ubuntu's repositories.  Ubuntu periodically migrates packages from Debian's repo to its own. (In use, none of that matters.)

       @Tesseks I liked #LMDE when I used it. LMDE is #LinuxMint with the ability to run #Debian packages.

       @Tesseks I think Linux Mint is fantastic.  I originally tested about a dozen distros to see which was a good fit for how I work, and decided to start with it. I thought maybe I would end up migrating to something else, but it's just simply a great, elegant, clean, effective, flexible, get out of your way, distro.

       @Tesseks It's good enough that my youngest sibling has never called me for tech support.How many, is Lots. No, more than that.

       I installed Debian a few months ago with LXQt as the environment and it's been pretty okay. I think I chose it over Ubuntu because I think the system requirements were lower. I know Ubuntu is pretty popular though and has like 7 different variants. Would most people pick Ubuntu over Linux Mint?

       @Tesseks I kind of like Debian, its robustness, community and more. But Linux Mint feels more user friendly. I went for LMDE as daily driver, Linux Mint Debian Edition to come close to Debian but polished with Mint. LMDE is not as user friendly as standard Mint, for example not built in support for drivers managament. And standard Mint with Ubuntu base probably is more up to date in sw repository. It's my non-expert thoughts.
