Long time Mint user here. Switched to them ages ago because they didn't try to "revolutionize" the desktop in the whole Gnome 3/Ubuntu Unity era, and the OS was close enough to Ubuntu that instructions and software for Ubuntu would run on it. Since then, it's only been getting better, and they haven't been accumulating drama (Snap, telemetry, whatever Redhat is doing, etc.). like the more popular distros have been.
I'd recommend it to new people because it Just Works, has flatpack support, is similar enough to Windows and the many Ubuntu-specific instructions in the wild apply to it.
