    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?

    Canonical, the company that has been taking care of Ubuntu, has made many bad choices (including Amazon launcher, telemetry, Snap packagesโ€ฆ). Linux Mint rises as an alternative because of these bad decisions.

    Oh damn, I wasn't aware. Never using Ubuntu again if they try shit like that. But if Canonical goes under, won't that effect Mint? I mean if it is based on Ubuntu? (If my understand of it is correct)
