📰 Linux Mint replaced Ubuntu as the best first distro, and Ubuntu's own choices explain why
If you went a decade back in time and asked someone in the Linux community what the best beginner distro was, there's a good chance they'd reply with Ubuntu. It's what I heard a lot about when I first dipped my toe into the world of FOSS operating systems, and for good reason.
