Mint is Ubuntu-based so yeah, most stuff will work.
But also: The only reason I don't recommend Ubuntu is because of Snaps and telemetry. If someone decides that they don't mind, I don't care. Everyone should just use the distro they like best
I'm new to linux.. what is snaps and telemetry..?
Snaps are a more powerful flatpack
Like an .exe on Windows
They are able to do system components
People don’t like them because the server that serves snap is closed source. Since Snaps themselves are open source they could be changed to not use Canonical but then it would be a fork
Telemetry is sending data to the company that makes the OS, normally in Linux this is opt-in but on Ubuntu it is opt-out
thanks so much! 😊
