Imho the differences are rather subtle. Ubuntu comes more consumer ready and pre-configured whereas Debian is "raw" and needs more initial setup effort.

- lmns 10y agoWell, depends. Debian has so called "tasks". If you install one of the desktop tasks (e.g. task-gnome-desktop), it's as complete as any other pre-configured distribution.
- binaryanomaly 10y agoStill the Desktop task is imho by no means comparable to what you get when you install Ubuntu Desktop. Ubuntu is more "turn key" ready what some again would consider as bloated. It's a lot about personal preference...

For some while I have been trying to write some hacky scripts[0] that would help users to configure their Debian systems really easily (consider the script as pre-alpha).
