I don't really know if they're bad, since I haven't touched either in years, but they're both definitely easy distros to get into for beginners who dont want to spend hours configuring their system, thus them being in the yes part of having a life.

I don't know why someone would call them bad. Especially if you're trying to install them on non-mainstream hardware. There's just more support for them.

My own journey to Linux started with FreeBSD. Want to talk about hard to find drivers? Now I have two laptops running Ubuntu and Mint, with Ubuntu running as a VM on Win10.
