I agree, Linux Mint has been well done.
Mint isn't well done, it's full on congratulations
Jokes aside - I was planning to do a Linux build, does that mean I should skip Ubuntu and go Mint? I’m going to be using the build for media and gaming (emulation)
i went from windows to mint, having a good time with it. This isn't my first attempt at making the switch, but it is the last.
One of my previous attempts was with Ubuntu, and it looks like it would be easier if I was familiar with mac.
I prefer mint over ubuntu. Also, I dont know about anyone else, but for me transition from windows to mint was easier than transition to ubuntu or pop os
There aren't many reasons at all to use Ubuntu over Mint, and in fact there are many downsides to Ubuntu these days (package management and installation being the worst). Get a USB drive with at least 4(?) gb of space and make a live install of Mint then give it a whirl. Odds are it will meet your needs without a lot of effort.
