The best way to experience Ubuntu is Linux Mint.

I would favor Linux Mint over Ubuntu these days. Started on Ubuntu and have since fucked with Debian, Linux Mint, Manjaro, Triscal, Rasbian, Dietpi and Manjaro Arm.

Linux Mint (based on Ubuntu) is all the simplicity of Ubuntu and then some (codecs for example) minus the snap package fuckery and comes from a company that is not compromised like Canonical. It is a superior distribution with all the benefits of Ubuntu's user base, optimized software and solutions because they are the same.

It is perfect for Linux noobs, has a very, very civilized install process and does not have the disgusting GNOME desktop out of the box. I am running KDE Plasma which I installed instead of Cinnamon.

I don't trust Canonical as an organization. I switched from Raspbian on the raspberry pi because they added a microsoft repository (Visual Studio Code) that had the ability to install code on the system. Dietpi aggressively blocked this; actually removing the repo during the install process, before it had received even one ping from the device. Mint is a bit like this to Canonical's Ubuntu.
