My Distro ranking
So, that's my reply to Chris Titus Tech's listing. I mostly agreed but still, made my own.

You're viewing a single thread.
Ubuntu and Mint are the same thing.
It includes cinnamon which is mints in house DE, but all DEs can be installed on any distro. Mint is just Ubuntu with extra proprietary stuff. My point was that it’s weird to have them in separate arbitrary categories. Labeling Ubuntu as “Devil” and Mint as “Amazing” is odd when you realize they are the same.
Mint has extra proprietary stuff? I'm gonna need a source on that one. Mint is the distro Ubuntu wants to be.
- Managed by the community and not a company
- Easy to use for beginners and intermediates
- Uses Flatpak instead of Snaps
It doesn’t seem like it differs that much from Ubuntu anymore in that regard tho.

I think all the software added to Mint is open source but I can be wrongI thought they packaged some proprietary media codecs and drivers to make it more user friendly out of the box. I could also be mistaken about the status of those items.
Mint does have proprietary codecs and drivers . He is talking about their applications
