BTRFS, GUI Flatpak manager, Theming, nonfree codecs etc., printer support, timeshift preconfigured

Their goal is to make vanilla debian usable, with only debian tech. It is just a config, no "small distro dies and users need to switch"

Might not be the most secure (loose printer configs, preinstalled drivers for random stuff that is not normally a problem)

Do you mean UI? Because the UX of Debian is "here's a menu to pick all your things on install. Get used to picking all your things all the time because this distro is a baked potato"

Personally I love that UX and its what draws me to systems like Debian and Arch because no one knows what I like better than I do, so why should I be using someone else's vision of what a good UX is
