Seconding this. Along with the fact that Ubuntu wouldn’t work properly when I tried it. I had an issue with the installer that prevented me from downloading anything. So I tried mint and it just worked.
Mint is pretty good at “it just works” thing and has a very friendly UI. It also comes with a few very handy tools developed in house by the Mint team (though these can be installed on other Debian/Ubuntu based distros). It’s usually high on the list of recommended distros for people new to Linux or who just need general purpose computing without a lot of fuss.

To attract horny single women in your area?
We all know that Linux users have the most guarantee to get laid
Why is everyone moving to Mint?
Mostly because it’s similar enough to Window’s GUI, while not being Microsoft.
Makes sense then, thank you.
Because I had experience with Ubuntu in the past & wanted to give mint a try.

How are you finding it so far?
So far I like it. All I want from my operating system is to just work & not spy on me/be secure.
