    From my personal experience, ubuntu has been way easier (more of “it just works”) than linux mint. What’s the reason behind people preferring and recommending mint? Is it only the UI?

      It’s recommended because of snap, and ubuntu doing malicious things with snap.

      Gnome is a terrible UI, but no, it’s recommended because it’s been recommended since the 2000s…it’s just momentum.

        Marginally better UI means nothing to me if the distro can’t handle basic features like audio through HDMI, therefore I’ll choose pretty much any distro over mint.
