Why I Left Ubuntu and Choose Linux Mint as My Primary OS

Summary
For many Linux beginners, Ubuntu is the go-to distro, but after years of exploring alternative options, one user has made the switch to Linux Mint as their daily driver.
While they loved the ease of setup, software availability and regular updates that Ubuntu offered, the platform became too resource-intensive as it moved to snaps and away from more traditional packaging.
Linux Mint’s draw was its impressive performance on aging hardware with boot times and application launches, while it also offered a more familiar feel to users transitioning from Windows.

Ultimately the best Linux distro is one that doesn’t get in the way of user productivity.
