You know what... I'll just stick with Ubuntu :-)

Drivers

I cannot believe that you haven't had to find 3rd party drivers for Debian. Sure, it is a rock solid OS, and I'm an advocate of the 'Release when Ready' philosophy that Debian has, but I think it was a bad idea to completely strip out all non-free drivers.

My Acer laptop always requires proprietary wireless drivers for example.... at least Mint provides this option, and besides, you shouldn't have to hunt down drivers just to get your system to do what it should. In this respect, Debian doesn't "just work".... but Mint certainly does.
