From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I think you are referring to gnome more than debian. I've been trying debian with kde and so far I haven't found that many problems.
Debian with Gnome is also pretty alright. I've been using that for a long time now. I guess it depends a bit where you come from. If you want something like Windows, it's probably a big deal for you. If you're used to Android or MacOS, you might enjoy the Gnome experience.
