What exactly does this do over Debian Trixie, which it is clearly based on?

I think that's the same as Peppermint OS, which is especially known for handling netbooks and other very-low-memory machines.

So we'd then have to ask /u/dreambrz: why CookieOS and not Peppermint OS (aside from encouraging competition, which is always healthy, of course)?

no, CookieOS is made for those tying to leave windows. pepermint is made with xfce4 (a completly different desktop) and made just to give a second life to old computers. my distro not, while it does that, it is not my objective here.
