I'd never heard of it so I tried it out, it seemed fine until the end where it listed about ten different distros with no real way to differentiate them.
Like, yeah, mint and Ubuntu and elementary and zorin and xubuntu all work for my use cases. I wanted it to give me a reason why one is better than another.
So, yeah, can't recommend that website. It's trying to help, but it won't, really.
The important thing to remember is that Canonical keeps making poor decisions, so Ubuntu and it's derivatives are no longer recommended nor used by me.
I like Linux Mint, and since they have a Debian-based distro, I went with that.
Dammit, I'm familiar with using kbuntu desktop at work for years and am wanting to try Linux at home, but it's sad to hear I'd have a steeper learning curve
Yeah that too.
I'm happy with mint I just wanted to see what it said.
