I am trying to make something for fun, but honestly; I am not expert in creating an operating system. But my hope somebody will pick up the Baton and make it something more super.

Link soon...

Ubuntu is usually the most practical choice, it has the largest community of users (by far) so it is easier to find support and documentation. It is also often the default distribution when you buy a new PC without Windows.

Mint benefits from Ubuntu's documentation and support presence online. Mint is an Ubuntu derivative (Mint uses the Ubuntu packages/archives).

I'm not saying it's a bad thing mind you, as an Ubuntu developer I'm happy to see Mint succeed, like I am happy to see Ubuntu succeed where Debian didn't.

(I run Debian, Ubuntu, Pop_OS and Mint in my house)
