Sorry. Debian's good because it has a longer update cycle, and you can opt out of them completely if you'd like. So you don't get things suddenly breaking on you.
I feel like Linux also plays better with remote desktop services as any version of Linux can do it, you don't need the pro or enterprise versions like with Windows.
And mounting network drives can feel more complicated when doing it in the command line, but I like the transparency of working in there than Windows' wizard.
That's been my experience at least, I've just been tinkering and don't actually work in networking
I actually built a multi session MINT termserv for work to baby the users away from windows. Had a looooooot of linux people saying it was preposterous despite the fact this is what fucking linux was built for and trying to mock me, someone with 20 years experience who spends 90% of my time balls deep in production deb servers and proxmox (irony of ironies, I personally run slack)
...i have a very dim view of a lot of online *nix touters. The dunning-kruger, it is real.
