    For Linux newbies, the Debian installer may be a bit challenging (at least it used to be). So mxLinux wins there.

    The Devuan installers are also not Linux newbie friendly, but I really like the TUI based Devuan Server installer and then choose a desktop environment as one of the last steps.

    I chose Devuan because I am interested in not having SystemD.

    Debian is also good, but for ease of use and installation I would usually recommend Linux Mint Debian Edition to a Linux Newbie would wants to run Debian.

    So I am guessing the reason is that some Debian derivatives have an an installer that is easier to use and understand than Debian itself.

      I thought Duvuan offered the same installation options as Debian. I usually go with an expert installation, so I never had much trouble navigating the ncurses interface for it.
