As Jeff pointed out, Debian is the base for Ubuntu, Mint, and others so
if you get in Debian you are in Ubuntu, Mint, etc. It is possible to get
into Ubuntu, Mint, etc. separately but then you have many channels
instead of just the one.

Debian also allows proprietary software such as NVIDIA drivers, it is
just that they are in the non-free repository instead of the free
repository. Non-free is not available by default in Debian but it is
there. I use it all the time for NVIDIA drivers and some other stuff.
