Other Debian-based distros with XFCE are going to be very similar, yes.
Xubuntu is going to install Snaps if you install some software through apt, though, which imo is kind of gross. That's the reason I switched to Mint. But if you like Snaps, it's arguably a better choice.
Debian might be slightly harder to set up. However, from what I hear, it's easy enough for most people now.
If you're already familiar with regular Mint, XFCE Edition is going to have the same key bindings, update manager and driver manager, so it should be slightly easier to use.
Good points. And fuck snaps. If I have to use some sort of "all-in-one", it's flatpak or nothing.
It's pretty easy to install these days. I use Debian exclusively on all of my VMs. I prefer the text-based installer because everything is headless and doesn't need a GUI, but there's also a graphical installer as well, which is pretty easy to navigate and use.
