Never used Cinnamon. It comes from Mint, right?

Yes, it's important. I switched from Ubuntu to Xubuntu (then Lubuntu)
when Ubuntu started using Unity. I liked GNOME 2 and KDE prior to
Plasma. They were simple, lightweight and effective. I found these
qualities in XFCE and LXDE.

Anyway I think I'll not install Debian, because it's LTS releases are
not long enough for me. I don't know if there's a distro based on
Debian that has a long LTS support, Ubuntu apart.
