I kinda wouldn't recommend distros downstream of the big guys for new users because if they go down that road, they're going to get into terrain they don't know how to read. They won't be able to tell a shady or poorly supported project from something more serious.

Also, small downstream distros are harder to troubleshoot for newbies when there're issues, because there're fewer people answering questions.
