No, just jump right in! Debian is very solid and stable, comes with hardware drivers to aid installation. It is also easy and fast to learn. Have fun exploring new territory. Come back if you have any questions after installing.

I should add a little on my above, on installers.
Ubuntu developed the Ubiquity installer, which since their 24.10 release has been replaced with its successor Subiquity.
Linux Mint still uses Ubiquity.
Your new "baby", Debian, uses the Calamares installer. It is noticeably different, but IMO very user-friendly.

Debian is a fine Distro and you should have no problems. It does some things a little different and you may have to configure things to suit your style. But all in all you should be able to get it going with minimal fuss. We are here to help if needed. Good Luck!

Debian is the Big Great Grandaddy of about a zillion other distros, including Ubuntu, Mint, Zorin, MX, antiX, and literally hundreds more. You're on about the most stable, solid ground a Linux user can be on if you're using Debian Stable.

Yes!
I use KDE Plasma with Debian 13, and couldn't possibly be any happier! And Wayland works flawlessly in it.

Same for me, except wayland, I refuse to convert.
I have dual monitors, two different sizes. And IIRC Wayland was created to handle that situation.
