From what I remember*, there was always some rough corner. Such as the wi-fi, or the graphics card. Sure, Stable was rock solid, but you always needed something from Testing; and Testing in general was overall less stable than Ubuntu or Mint.
*This was years ago, so it might be inaccurate as of 2025.
Linux Mint has a Debian Edition (LMDE) if you ever wanted a Debian that Just Works.
I did use the first LMDE for some time, and I loved it, it's a great distro. I don't recall why I went for the Ubuntu-based Mint later on, I think it was the PPAs?
The Ubuntu version does have all of Mint's tools and stuff. Pretty sure the Debian edition is missing the Driver Manager and maybe some others.
All the good parts of Ubuntu have long since been integrated upstream. And Debian's release cycle has increased a lot so you're not stuck with old versions anymore.
