mint is similar (its based on ubuntu) but it is significantly better imo
Sort of newbie here as well. Why is it better?
I used Ubuntu for about 2 years in 2006 to 2008, but have been on Windows since. I like Ubuntu, and looking in to dual booting with Windows now. Should I go for Mint instead of Ubuntu?
You should probably go for mint because of the reasons the other person that replied mentioned, but it's your choice, go with whichever you like (you may also like zorinos)
Thank you! I've never heard of zorinos but I'll look in to it
