Linux mint does seem to be the best Debian based distro. It comes with cinnamon. There are a respectable frequency of protondb entries where people successfully run newer games in mint. Ubuntu is bad because snap. Debian cares more about open source drivers than hardware compatibility which isn't what the average user wants to fuck with. Somehow even after enabling "non-free" drivers in Debian, it still works on a lot less stuff than other distros.
