Is Linux mint good? How many folk actually use it?

One of the youtubers I watch uses it as their main OS and a podcast that talks about linux, opensource stuff also talks about linux mint a lot.

#mint #linux #linuxmint

I installed Debian a few months ago with LXQt as the environment and it's been pretty okay. I think I chose it over Ubuntu because I think the system requirements were lower. I know Ubuntu is pretty popular though and has like 7 different variants. Would most people pick Ubuntu over Linux Mint?

@Tesseks I kind of like Debian, its robustness, community and more. But Linux Mint feels more user friendly. I went for LMDE as daily driver, Linux Mint Debian Edition to come close to Debian but polished with Mint. LMDE is not as user friendly as standard Mint, for example not built in support for drivers managament. And standard Mint with Ubuntu base probably is more up to date in sw repository. It's my non-expert thoughts.
