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)
Edit: I would like to thank you all for the responses, just goes to show how lovely the Linux community is! Will be trying Mint :)
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.
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
I’d recommend Mint. Cinnamon is a great DE, and everything works out of the box. It’s a Debian-family distro, which means it can install DEB packages. Overall a great experience, and my personal favorite.
NixOS: a small factory with which to reproducibly grow your own meat.

NixOS is completely plant based
And not prepared plant products, but raw, with dirt and bugs on it.
Vegetables. It’s vegetables from someone’s garden.
RHEL is congratulations 🎊
Tofu Linux when? 😟
That’s BSD. It’s better for you, but most people don’t like it
I like the concept of BSD and would concede that it’s probably the better Os but the thing Linux needs more than anything in Market share, or people to accurately use the damn thing if you prefer less business speak, and I think supporting FreeBSD would just fragment the small user base even further.
BSD:
Actual Unix:
Where does Debian fit
Dry aged.
