Maybe Mint is more user friendly than Debian, but Mint is derived from Ubuntu is derived from Debian. Why not take the original?
Two things I would NOT recommend are 1. install Debian with the Standard Installer from the Standard ISO and 2. install the preferred Gnome. Instead, I recommend: Install Debian from the Live ISO with Xfce instead. The installer is easy to handle and Debian's Xfce is ready to use and easy to configure.
As far as I remember, sudo works OTB but for using su -, you will have to set a password for the root user first.
In Debian, I found it difficult to install the NVidia graphic driver and get it to work correctly. This is no beginner task. Ubuntu possibly had it on board, but I don't remember.
