That's always been my go to, rock solid OS that will just chug along. My son (Arch user) likes to joke that mine is always out of date, but I like to joke that he's the beta tester.

When LMDE was dropped I started recommending that to the Windows Expats I meet because its UI is familiar to them and Debian just runs.

I’ve been encouraged by 12 and 13 making progress towards out of the box usability. But it still takes too much tweaking to make it work smoothly for desktop users at scale. This isn’t a shot at Debian by the way. I use it on at least some of my own machines. Just have a hard time recommending it depending on the situation.

Good joke

Install mint/fedora (classic or atomic)

Not fedora, it's too much like Arch (bleeding edge). Although I do enjoy their immutable spins, using Aurora on my laptop for over a year.

Mint debian edition or MX ahs edition would be my goto solutions. Specially mx, since you can prepare your own custom iso so easily as install, customize, use their tool, get iso. Then you can install in all your other machines ;)
