Why is everyone reccommending linux mint all of a sudden? What happened to ubuntu and fedora?

[-] Zink@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago

Mint is ubuntu with the icky stuff removed and given an extra layer of polish. Still loving it here.

Ubuntu added telemetry and forced snaps

And Ubuntu Pro popup ads. Linux Mint is, from a compatibility standpoint, Ubuntu without the crap.

So out of curiosity, why Mint over, say Debian? Has Debian added telemetry etc as well?
