Debian is great on the desktop if you use apt pinning to pull selected packages (e.g. kernel, browser) from Unstable and everything else from Testing. But you need to monitor apt-list{bugs,changes} in case you get rug-pulled. And it's not a setup you'd recommend to someone that doesn't want to baby their OS.

In reality, the only sane option for desktop Linux is Fedora with rpmfusion.
