I am also switching to Mint Debian for main desktops at because of the
rolling release cycle. So for I am in love. The only part that Ubuntu has
done very well is the "Hardware Drivers" install dialog for Wifi and
Graphics drivers. Those seem to be way more manual to install in Debian. But
I have got them working, so I am very happy with my experience so far (about
2 months).

Also I really miss the PPAs for Ubuntu. Can they be used on Debian? Is there
a similar idea for Debian?
