There's a bit of bloat, but it's by far the best out of the box Linux experience. It literally just werks.

Mint is running flawlessly on a 16 year old Dell that I resurrected from my junk pile for a new project of mine.

The bit about Debian not working and Mint being good are true. The rest are fabrications.

Should've probably just opted out of using a DE, and also used ascii instead of actual images.
Didn't happen obviously but both the shortcomings are real and it's amazing how developers still haven't learned to make user-friendly intuitive UIs for everyday use.

Also, Fedora is a distro that has multiple Desktop environments, why are you not looking distros based on your desktop environment to begin with?
