Linux Mint 20 (MATE Edition) vs Ubuntu 20.04 (MATE Edition)

The same but different.

Linux Mint Mate= crashes sometimes
Ubuntu mate = crashes..ALL the damn time..be it just sitting there doing nothing, when you left click to close out any window, when you left click to select to install something using the .deb installer, or hit enter/selecting ok after typing your password to install system updates ( YES i literally counted this and tested this...again..today with Ubuntu mate 20.04 and it's the same damn consistency of crashes for 19.04, 19.10, 18.04 and 16.04 dating back years)

Thus...screw..them BOTH.

Linux Mint cinnamon= very rarely crashes regardless of the version dating back to 17.1 even

My pc
4790k
8GB rx 580
z97 matx asrock mobo
16GB vram ( swappiness set to 5% and YES that is still more than enough I rarely ever consume even half of ram)
1440p 144hz monitor
850Watt seasonic psu that isn't even 3 years old yet . So NO it isn't my hardware and no I don't overclock..everything in uefi/bios/setup is stock as well as the fact that LInux Mint xfce and cinnamon have very rarely ever crashed on me, and even winblows 10 pro 64 bit as well.

It baffles me to no end as to why so many have said Ubuntu mate is rock solid stable that it makes me wonder if there is some setting I need to enable or disable, or a stupid update to avoid possibly ( and yes I tried installing Ubuntu mate 20.04 earlier today both auto enabling it to download and install updates while installing the distro AND leaving that option UNchecked)

I was hoping youd go into the default app diffs. I am a cinnamon user for 10+yrs but migrate from ubuntu back when unity arrived. I just didnt like unity. Too drastic a change I guess. It looked great for the wildly hoped for linux cell phone OS. Back then Ubuntu wanted folks to get used to unity so as to force the public to have some familiartity with the interface as it was developed. If they ever got their mobile OS rockin and rolling. Anyways, I applauded Ubuntu for the mobile part and I would have joined in if they got it going. I still have my S4 phone that was sposed to have a dropin replacement for android. I purchased that phone just for that impending but never lauched or completed mobile ubuntu OS project. I gues they could not get manufactures to jump on board in mass. Google is powerful and they gotta have them ads ubuntu is and never was an advertising platform. Nice huh?
Back to present, I recently saw that ubuntu relased a mate version and thought about a change back to the linux parent's release out of some old sense of loyalty to the brand. Could you show us the ubuntu version in action compared to each comparable mint mates apps.
Are they the same? What differs? Is systemd used in both? stuff like that.
Thanks for the vid and happy new year 2021 !
