Does mint have trial/dual boot easy install like Ubuntu?
Yes, any distro with a live ISO will allow you to try it on a USB and dual boot if you want.
But does it have the easy dual boot setup flow of Ubuntu? With that you tick the option in setup and it basically does everything for you, just asks about disk allocation
That's not a feature of Ubuntu, more so the installer itself. I'm sure many distros, especially Ubuntu-based one will ship with the exact same installer. Idk if mint uses the same installer, but it would really surprise me that the option isn't available.
Thankfully it's pretty easy to confirm by yourself. Grab a USB key, flash the ISO and have a look at it!
Ah sweet, I'll give it a go then. Need to figure out the flavor I like by the win10 support cutoff
Awesome! I haven't looked at mint in quite a few years, but I would recommend cinnamon as the default.
MATE and XFCE are mostly targeted towards older hardware.
