According to the Debian Wiki, merely having a salsa account is not sufficient.
When you login on debusine.debian.net with Salsa for the first time, if you are a Debian developer or a Debian maintainer, then a Debusine account is automatically created. The username of that account is your primary email on salsa.debian.org.
To verify if you are a Debian developer, it relies on the group membership exported by Salsa: if you are part of the debian group on salsa, then the account is created and it is added to the Debian group on debusine.debian.net.
To verify if you are a Debian maintainer, it will query nm.debian.org to know if that salsa identity is known to be a Debian Maintainer. If yes, then the account is created and it is added to the Maintainers group.
Edit, to address the last line in your comment:
The value of Ubuntu's PPA service is it gives anyone a managed and hosted repository and a multi-architecture build farm, for free, so you don't have to self-host. Self-hosting Debusine would not be comparable.
If a self-hosted Debian repository is all you want, that has been possible forever, using any of a variety of tools.
By copypasta, I meant that you are bulk copying posts from other communities.
And apparently with no regard for the veracity of what you're re-posting.
You already posted copypasta about this, two days ago, and it's still false.
Only Debian developers and Debian maintainers can create a Debusine repository. That’s not “PPA-like” in any practical way. The value of Personal Package Archives (PPAs) is that anyone can create them.

I feel this is a stupid abbreviation that needlessly obscures the subject from readers, in favor of corporation-indulgent branding.
404 Media, please do better.
I think you chose well with Mint. It is based on Ubuntu, but has a track record of stripping out Canonical's nonsense, and if said nonsense should ever become impractical to remove, Mint already has a contingency plan in the form of their Debian Edition.
Someone said that LMDE is behind in various ways,
Someone on social media is always echoing the meme about Debian being unusable due to old packages, but roughly 96% of the time, that person turns out to be poorly informed and driven by an unhealthy addiction to quickly rising version numbers. Try not to give their opinion much weight, despite how loud and repetitive they are.
including NVIDIA graphics drivers
Why would "non-tech-savvy seniors" care what version of the Nvidia driver is installed?
Edit: To answer the question in your headline, putting the /home directory on a separate partition tends to make switching distros easy.
Before buying a new mobo, I hope you'll reset the BIOS settings to safe defaults and see if that clears any problems.
If you do end up buying a new one, I suggest one that supports ECC RAM. (I think Asus officially and Asrock unofficially support ECC, but I haven't kept up on available options in a year or two.)
Edit: Also, I hope you haven't overlooked power supply failure as a possibility. Some people forget that component, or don't realize what weird problems can come from it being underpowered.
What could previously have been disguised as a casual knitting circle is now a bunch of people who have to wear masks, unable to bring their phones with them, taking public transit and paying exclusively in cash having to meet in a tech free zone
Sadly, even those precautions are ineffective for many (most?) people in the US, unless they can find transportation that avoids the surveillance cameras that are nearly ubiquitous in cities.
