Finally making the transition from Windows to a Linux. I'm pretty sure it's been asked several times but which Linux OS would you recommend a beginner to use? I've seen Ubuntu and Mint as a good start. Not looking to do much. Game here and there (not too worried about Linux compatibility), streaming, editing videos. If I break any rules. I'm sorry.

Mint is just Ubuntu with a different default desktop, but way less reliable

I have never heard this, why?

The default desktop is better so why not use it. Especially for beginners, the default being a better option, that's a good thing.

Mint is a more polished ubuntu as far as i'm aware.
