Debian is not a good distro for the tech illiterate. The point of Linux Mint is to be a good entry point for people to Linux, some will stick to it and that's fair cause it's a good distro, some may move past it. Debian isn't very friendly to noobs. Ubuntu is just garbage, I'd love it to be good but snaps are just that awful.
I'd love to agree but unfortunately with them pushing snaps I can't. When I used snaps I found them to be extremely buggy and if I didn't already know there were other distributions with other better package managers I would've straight up assumed it was a Linux problem and I'd just have gone back to windows. If there was no other Noob-friendly distro out there I could say "sure it's an ok distro" but there are better alternatives that don't do the same shitty decisions as canonical (like Linux Mint which is the one I recommend to every noob coming from windows or Pop_OS! for those who want something similiar to MacOS).
This is garbage, preposterous even! Kali is a toy lockpick for script kiddies, parrotOS is where the real deal is. Or you know just install the tools on debian.
I wouldn't use the installer. Just need to download and extract files.
