Big thing about distros like Ubuntu and Linux Mint is that they don't hide the "non-free" drivers and software from you, and actively ask you to install them during installation process or initial setup. Meanwhile in other distros, I imagine Debian too, it would probably require adding some software sources through apt, which is beyond casual PC user already.
