Mint is supposed to go with lamb, not beef. This whole infographic is suspect.

Opensuse has Mold on it because someone forgot it in an office locker.

NixOS is completely plant based
And not prepared plant products, but raw, with dirt and bugs on it.

Microsoft Windows

Elementary OS
Tofu Linux when? 😟
That's BSD. It's better for you, but most people don't like it
I like the concept of BSD and would concede that it's probably the better Os but the thing Linux needs more than anything in Market share, or people to accurately use the damn thing if you prefer less business speak, and I think supporting FreeBSD would just fragment the small user base even further.

I agree, Linux Mint has been well done.
Mint isn't well done, it's full on congratulations
Jokes aside - I was planning to do a Linux build, does that mean I should skip Ubuntu and go Mint? I’m going to be using the build for media and gaming (emulation)
Edit: I would like to thank you all for the responses, just goes to show how lovely the Linux community is! Will be trying Mint :)
I'd recommend Mint. Cinnamon is a great DE, and everything works out of the box. It's a Debian-family distro, which means it can install DEB packages. Overall a great experience, and my personal favorite.
Mint is great if you want a Linux experience that works with minimal hassle. It uses the Cinnamon desktop environment that is similar to Windows UI. It also has lots of apps and settings that imitate Windows, so it should be intuitive. Ubuntu is also an easy transition for new Linux users, but not as intuitive as Mint, and it has been getting some critique lately for decisions made by the distro's developer (Canonical). The decisions are likely not going to make much difference in your daily use as a new user, so I wouldn't worry to much about that specific issue because Ubuntu is a great distro for new users as well. In fact, Mint is based off of Ubuntu. Additionally, Ubuntu Server is one of the most popular server builds because of its ease of use. If you are unsure, you can make a Live USB of each and try them out for a few days.
Tip: As a new user, it's possible that you will eventually make a mistake or change to your build that you would like to undo. To undo easily when the time comes, make sure you set up Timeshift when you first install your build. It takes snapshots at whatever regular intervals you would like so that you can revert back to one when the time comes. It has saved me lots of frustration.
Thank you so much!
There aren't many reasons at all to use Ubuntu over Mint, and in fact there are many downsides to Ubuntu these days (package management and installation being the worst). Get a USB drive with at least 4(?) gb of space and make a live install of Mint then give it a whirl. Odds are it will meet your needs without a lot of effort.
I prefer mint over ubuntu. Also, I dont know about anyone else, but for me transition from windows to mint was easier than transition to ubuntu or pop os
i went from windows to mint, having a good time with it. This isn't my first attempt at making the switch, but it is the last.
One of my previous attempts was with Ubuntu, and it looks like it would be easier if I was familiar with mac.
"If you want to build your own linux from scratch, you first have to invent the universe." - GNU/RMS
You give RMS too much credit when you paraphrase Sagan and attribute it to RMS. They're not nearly on the same level.
Agree, yesterday me should learn his lesson
