Matt Hartley compares Linux Mint and Ubuntu. "The tool that really stood out to me was mintBackup. It felt the same as Ubuntu's included Deja Dup app, but it went a step further – mintBackup can backup applications. Now I assume it's merely putting a friendly face onto "dpkg get selections." Still, in terms of managing software for friends and family, this would be a tremendous time saver. Restoring my own apps is stupid easy. Figuring out what the heck your "Uncle Bob" used for his music, videos, etc, isn't as simple. Hence, mintBackup blows Ubuntu out of the water in this regard."
