I migrated to OpenSUSE years ago, only systems left on Debian are some hacked Kirkwood-SoC NAS devices where I cannot run OpenSUSE.

OpenSUSE has great and fast package management, but it is lacking packages. I had to resort to user packages for basic stuff. I never tried full system upgrade on OpenSUSE.
OpenSUSE would probably be my second choice or maybe Fedora (but I hate SELinux).
I quite liked Arch Linux, but it requires a bit more time and since the removed installer I'm really not interested in installing with retyping commands from manual.

I don't see any kind of propaganda here.
He talks way too positively about GNOME and Red Hat.
Every time GNOME is mentioned, he automatically early birds the thread up.
And when we disturb his fanboy-ism, he goes "y'all are off-topic" on us.

Debian are "downstream" from GNOME, Firefox and Linux. Any improvements made to those 3 pieces of software from their source (upstream) float down the river towards Debian (downstream) where Debian can benefit from them. Ubuntu is based and continually re-based off of Debian, so they are further still downstream. If Debian applies patches (to fix/improve) GNOME, Firefox or Linux then Ubuntu can benefit from those patches also.
Like 144Hz, I too like it when companies like Canonical go to the effort of doing work on the upstream source software so that not only do they (Canonical) benefit from it (when their upstream work eventually reaches them downstream), but all the other downstream receivers benefit too (which includes other distros and ultimately the end users of the distros).
