It's Debian with a convenient collection of tools. You can select 
metapackages of tools for various purposes or go for the full fat install. 
You can select several of the popular DEs, KDE, GNOME, Xfce, etc. 

It's no more or less than that. Most of the tools can be installed on any 
distro but they won't be packaged together. I don't run it as a stand 
alone Linux box but I do have installed as a WSL instance on one of my 
work Windows boxes.
