I found Ubuntu to be a bit to foreign when transitioning from Windows, it was actually the first distro I tried. It has more of an old school Mac feel to me, and I just couldn’t get used to it. I get what you’re saying about the guides though, I do still get Ubuntu forums a lot when I forget to add + Linux Mint on the end of my searches.
For me it was Ubuntu, then back to windows for a while, then ZoronOS for a while, then finally settling on Mint. I’ve tried a few other distros over the years but I keep coming back to Mint.
