    Why don’t they just use vanilla Ubuntu instead of making their own flavor?

      You usually want to know and control what goes into your distro, especially if we’re talking about more critical systems. If you just install Ubuntu, you’re handing over control to its creator, Canonical.

      I was a hardcore Ubuntu user but I’m all in on Linux mint now. At one point I had lots of time to dedicate to getting my and other’s system working with their hardware through updates. Mint has for the most part been perfect.
