Why do you suggest Mint over Ubuntu?

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 12 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Mint in any of its default offerings feels significantly more familiar to a Windows environment than default Ubuntu, Lubuntu (LXDE desktop) or Xubuntu (XFCE desktop), making the migration "less painful";
The ISO image is ~1GB smaller \

Ubuntu is developed and controlled by a corporation (canonical) and they have some non ideal practices (like pushing snaps heavily instead of the more open flatpaks or native apps). Mint takes what’s good in Ubuntu and cleans it up a lot.
