Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) is a good choice as a compromise
between "up-to-date" and user friendly. Based on Debian Testing it keeps
up fairly well with latest versions and Clem and his team have ironed
out many Debianisms to make it very friendly. The automatic installation
of some non-free software is an example of the difference between
vanilla Debian and LMDE. I use it on a Dell Latitude 5410 with xastir
(compiled from sources).

have to say about Ubuntu)
Debian is constructed in a way which allows incremental upgrading, or
massive upgrading, but neither requires a reinstall.
Ubuntu is not constructed the same way, so the intention of their
developers is that you do a reinstall of Ubuntu when you wish to
upgrade. Of course, some can manipulate their installs and upgrade
Ubuntu, but it takes additional expertise.
