I haven't used Ubuntu desktop in a very long time. Not since they first introduced Ubuntu One or whatever it was called years ago. I also haven't ever used Debian desktop. But as a CLI-only environment like a server, I find Debian to be completely indistinguishable from Ubuntu. Personally I've been using Arch for a long time. I prefer it in basically every way, except the pacman interface is hot garbage compared to apt. I wouldn't recommend Arch for everyone, and I don't recommend the base Arch distro for anyone. Get one of the nicer arch variants like Garuda or Cinnamon.
