Ubuntu has a couple of dozen full time developers working to improve
it.* They put their releases through public betas where tens of
thousands of people try it out and report problems, and then they fix
(some of) the problems. Ubuntu has a decent chance of working on
J. Random hardware configuration.
I don't know that Mint doesn't put similar effort into the Q/A of their
releases, but if nine out of ten EUGLUG members hadn't heard of it, I
doubt it.
Upgrading Ubuntu to use the non-free bits isn't hard, and it's a good
introduction to the subject of free vs proprietary software.
* That's a guess. I don't know the actual number, sorry.
