      Mint was also my first 14yrs ago

      I believe it was a great door to enter the Linux world

      Until I found mint kde and fell in love with the glow (of kde4) which made KDE my go-to next (then KDE neon)… And occasionally gnome for a different experience

      Anyway… if mint wasn’t there at my beginning, I sure would have been super confused with unity (ubuntu 10) as someone coming from windows

        Sure, it’s easy to get into and install for anyone used to Windows.

        Because it’s an easy transition to Linux, which is beneficial in numerous ways. If you’re gatekeeping Linux distros, you can kindly leave normal people alone.

        Because once one works out that it’s as easy to I use and does everything they need, it’s a lot more expandable and configurable and a lot less advertising intensive than actual windows
