Linux world is strange like that with all the modern flavors based on some of the "classics". Mint is based on Ubuntu which in turn is based on Debian (though that link is less technical nowadays and more like a historic factoid)
True indeed. Being a closed source Microsoft Windows gets a great advantage here. Most of the third-party application works on any version of Windows, if you do a little bit of tweak or simply use an older version, they can work on XP, Vista even in Windows 95. Other hand being an open-source Linux got too many flavors, distributions, package managers, and one distribution fork from another, that fork top of another one (as Linux Mint <- Ubuntu <- Debian case) , all of these things creates a bit of confusion at the beginning. And top of that unlike Windows if you face any particular issue in Linux you will hardly get any useful link/posts, as they are just not available :(
