Mint is my first distro! Love it as a nice simple intro to Linux.
You mean as a familiar looking?
Sure, it's easy to get into and install for anyone used to Windows.
Why would anyone want to use off brand windows? 🤔😐
Jesus christ, linux isn't even linux enough for some of you linux bros.
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
