Linux Mint vs. Ubuntu: the Best Option? (Datamation)

Matt Hartley compares Ubuntu to Linux Mint in a three page article on Datamation. "Despite the mutual goal of offering an easy to use Linux desktop, I've noticed that Ubuntu and Linux Mint have different approaches as to how they appeal to their users. In recent years, I've actually found the two distributions shift further apart than ever before. This change isn't a negative thing, rather a positive highlight that allows both distributions to differentiate themselves better. The shift began with different approaches to tools and software. Later, the differences between the distros evolved to include the desktops as well."
