Debian systems are verified to work properly without subtle config breakages. You can run Debian practically unattended for a decade and it’s chug along. For people who prefer their device to actually work, and not just be a maintenance princess, it’s ideal.
Okay, I get that it’s annoying when updates break custom configs. But I assume most newbs don’t want to make custom dotfiles anyways. For those people, having the newest features would be more beneficial, right?
Linux Mint is advertised to people who generally aren’t willing to customize their system
having a stable base helps. Also, config breakage can happen without user intervention. See Gentoo or Arch’s NOTICE updates
I customized Mint. It is a great system that I run in a VM.
