I'm sure debian will get these thing fixed eventually, But this has been my experience with it.
1. if you install from the live DVD/usb - you get an incomplete /etc/apt/sources. list file which makes it impossible to update the system.
2. I installed Cinnamon DE the first time and found that it would not allow me to use Vivaldi Browser (my preferred browser) no matter how I installed it.
3. Ram usage was high. About 1.5 x higher than Mint and 2x higher than MX.
4. Battery life is substantially less on Laptop even after installing and configuring TLP.
Those are the reason I've returned to Mint for now.
