@paelnever@masto.es Kubuntu doesn't fail, not even "a little bit", is solid as a rock. Language barrier? I meant it doesn't meet the criteria I specified that are the reasons so many recommend Mint. Most Linux distros are basically stable. I was not stating that *buntu distros are unstable. I was stating that they fail to meet criteria of not doing bad things that users new to Linux will have to figure out how to deal with. I do, however, still stand by my argument that the chief reason they're "easy" is just that they are well supported by third parties. You'll get that from practically anything Debian based too. Just avoid stuff like Arch probably. As (mainline) Mint is built on Ubuntu's base, it enjoys the same third party support.
