From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Mint for Mint then maybe the Debian Edition (LMDE) instead the the common one based on Ubuntu, which again is Debian just LTS. ~~Also, if OP is tired of Microsoft enshittification imagine him finding out Ubuntu's company Canonical decided that apt command should sometimes install snap packages instead of deb binaries, because "reasons"~~ (NVM lucky us at Mint there are sane people). Or that it tried to put ads in their OS even before Windows even tried.
