it is a OS that you will get open source and with a minimal UI which is really good to have as compared to its competitors whose UI is very cluttered also it just give you alot of configuation options

The most fasicnating thing about Linux mint to me was that it has very robust as well as simple UI. which can be handle from a beginner to a pro. But the best out of these is were it comes with very very import softwares pre-installed. It offers a lot of flexibility as well. The customer support of mint is also good as they are active very often to help you out. It also come pre-installed with ubuntu which make integration with other linux distros.

Over the years, I did not experience updates that break the system. Cinnamon is one of the best DE out there.
