Almost the same to me except the Mint episode which never made any sense to me (being a derivate of Ubuntu which is derived from Debian). I started in about 2009 replacing Windows with a thing like "Netbook Remix" (Ubuntu? I forgot) on a weak 10" Medion Netbook (which worked very fine anyway!), later changed to Ubuntu, also replaced Windows with it on the "main" computer. Changed to Xubuntu when they replaced Gnome 2 and made the system unusable (for me). Changed to Debian Live with Xfce a year ago (because of Snap and such) and since then, I am a happy Debian 12 user except when that update occured for a few days with the broken NVidia driver. Never before I found it easier to install a Linux system before Debian 12 Live system. Of course, it does NOT prevent you from using your grey matter ![:-)]( "Smile")
For the case of emergency, I still own a 12" Netbook with 1 GB memory. Even on that machine Debian just works (oh well, what would you expect from 1 GB memory), while the the formerly pre-installed ancient Windows 7 needed >20 mins to start and was completely occupied with itself, continuously swapping in and out (I wonder how can anybody sell such a machine with Windows??). Opposed to that, Debian 12 Xfce still leaves Hundreds of Megabytes free and is fully operational.
