Mint is much more polished than Ubuntu.
I don't doubt it. And GEM was better than Windows back in the day. And DR-DOS was better than DOS. And Intuition was more advanced than Mac System 7 and Windows 3.x. If there is a new contender every year and a half, the Linux crowd will have more difficulty getting critical mass.

I recommend Mint because it’s basically Ubuntu with some extra polish on it and it comes with everything working. With most Linux distros, you have to install the non-free stuff like Flash and codecs and stuff. With Mint, it’s all working from the second you’re finished installing. You can fire up Firefox and watch a youtube video first thing. You also can use the Ubuntu forums for any issues you might have, since it’s basically Ubuntu.
