Ubuntu LTS. Far more polished than Mint, regardless of the Snap hatred you will hear. And Snap is a bit annoying, but not one bit the evil some people will convince you it is. Will not break unless something extremely stupid is done. And since it is based on Debian Unstable, it receives latest packages plus is first preference Linux platform for corporate and general software.
Mint is a lot more buggy than Ubuntu LTS, atleast from the one month of trial testing I did. I used Ubuntu LTS for 6 years and only experienced silent crashes that did not affect me, but I lost thousands of Firefox tabs thanks to Mint.
Although I switched to Debian last summer, Ubuntu is still my recommendation for first time Linux users due to the overwhelming community and corporate support.

How is Ubuntu more stable than Mint? They share the same base and libraries
