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)

Does it really ships with everything? That's bad. I prefer to have custom GUI installers for anything I want (e.g. enabling a samba share for Windows). This is how it's done in MX Linux (I have the "ahs" version for the nonfrew goodies)

I am not sure, but it seems a lot is just already set up.

I agree that a good, cross-distro GUI for advanced configuration, is a better way to do this.
