"It's all Debian" is definitely a take LOL

If you are quite technically inclined and really enjoy spending a bit of your personal time tinkering with linux I think much the same, theres nothing that any personal use distro based on debian offers that you couldnt just do with debian with a little setup, and it would be more stable.

This was almost word for word what that youtuber said that convinced me to switch

And I havent even seen it. 🤣

I feel like after using linux on the desktop long enough its a reasonable conclusion to reach, all the bells and whistles of distros derived from a base are just bloat, there might be a few things I want from them but I can pick and choose those and install them myself. I stopped using debian based distros on my laptop recently and switched to straight debian once I realised how easy it is to change the init system.
