From my limited understanding it’s based on Debian instead of Ubuntu (which is based on Debian). The purpose is to have a fallback in the event Canonical snaps Ubuntu out of existence.

Here comes Arch Linux with the parts for a steel chair! Now they’re pulling out the instructions for putting it together! Uh oh, the instructions say what kind of bolts they need, but not how many! Arch is trying to fit it all together anyway! Hmm, looks like some of the assembly steps are missing… ok, Arch has got something that looks like a chair constructed… now they’re going to test it by sitting down… oh, and the chair frame has held together but the seat has fallen off. Arch forgot about not breaking user space again!

Mint is my first distro! Love it as a nice simple intro to Linux.

I hate to say it to you guys but Linux Mint is really just about the desktop and their initial setup of Ubuntu.

I personally care about unique and usable distributions:

  • Ubuntu (Really excellent foundation for a stable Desktop)
  • Debian (Rock solid but can be dated for Desktop)

There are unique distributions but not usable for doing work like programming full time and other things:

  • Arch Linux (I personally not comfortable updating this distro)
  • Gentoo (I am not high to actually use this distro)

Well, Mint also corrects some of Ubuntu’s mistakes. It doesn’t force feed you Snap, for instance.

Instead it hides snap and acts as if it didn’t exist.
