"Given that both of these distributions are enjoying a continued rise in popularity, along with the end of Windows 10 support, you might be looking at one or the other to serve as either your first or your next Linux distribution.

That probably doesn't help you decide which Linux distribution to try."
"Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu, so it enjoys a rock-solid and user-friendly base. On top of that, Ubuntu has outstanding hardware recognition, thanks to the HWE (Hardware Enablement) kernel, which is found in Ubuntu Long-Term Support (LTS) releases. The HWE kernel offers better support for newer hardware while maintaining system stability. Also: Linux Mint 22 is official! Here's what's new and how to try it for yourself On top of that, Linux Mint defaults to the Cinnamon desktop environment."
Zorin OS experienced a dramatic increase in downloads after Windows 10 support ended, reaching over 100,000 downloads in two days, a record for the distribution. Linux Mint remains one of the most popular distributions, built on Ubuntu for stability and wide hardware recognition via the HWE (Hardware Enablement) kernel in LTS releases. Linux Mint defaults to the Cinnamon desktop, providing a familiar, standard PC layout with panel, start menu, system tray, and icons. Cinnamon prioritizes ease of use and stability over extreme flexibility, making the environment harder to break than lighter alternatives like Xfce.
