Ubuntu 20.04 vs Linux Mint 20 (Beta Edition)

The Race is On!

Mint is definitely the better of the two, I have tested both and can't fault the Mint beta which has just gone stable, Ubuntu is slower on my system and takes longer to do anything by comparison.

mint out of beta and it works great on my 2008 imac....makes a old pc run well as apple no longer support the older macs....test many distros and mint is now the keeper for me

I can believe in a side by side comparison you didn't compare the ease of modifying the desktop on cinnamon desktop. I am running mint 20 and don't think any other desktop will pull me away, although I do like Pop Is also. Have tried several other distros including unbuntu and for me I will stick with mint

For me it's Mint or Peppermint. I use both on separate pc's.
