Debian has a user experience that is slightly rougher than a desktop-focused distro like ubuntu. It's caught up a bit recently, but you still need to be a little more technically-minded to use debian - examples: debian's main troubleshooting help is mailing lists, ubuntu's is forums; ubuntu has more 'automagic tooling' to help with things like non-intel graphics cards; debian requires you to understand it's philosophy to understand how it's resources are arranged, why it's website looks the way it does, etc, etc, but a more user-friendly distro hides all of that.
