It sure makes Debian (one of the best distributions) more accesible to absolute new users that do not care about Debian proper or do not know it.
If you find Debian too bare bones or boring and default Ubuntu too ‘mainstream’ or heavy than definitely go for it. MX Linux is a fun distribution and probably has one of the best and friendliest community out there in Linux space with very helpful and knowledgeable people.
