Linux Mint VS Ubuntu - Which is Better for New Users?

Comments

I'm gonna join Tyler on the Ubuntu vs Mint debate, and for 2 more reasons , First, if you want to keep a windows like interface go with Lubuntu or Ubuntu Mate. Second, the Mint policy about snaps make their ubuntu base status more and more untenable by the day and LMDE is gonna be the only Mint soon enough and then the conversation is over Ubuntu wins by defaullt.
