Its absolutely ugly and has a very non modern interface, anyone who tries it as their first OS will probrally be convinced Linux is stuck in 2005. Tbh Fedora should be considered the default these days.
As far as I know Mint and Fedora have the same choice of Desktop Environment more or less, I'm really curious to know what you refer to when you say "modeen interface"
I used modern gnome and I seriously don't understand how it's "more modern", most changes feel a downgrade, I cannot divide apps by categories anymore, I only have a big menu that takes all my screen and shows me like 15 apps at a time, unlike "traditional" desktop apps I can control with Alt+Some keys I have the same toolbar filled with burger menus and icons with no text so difficult to use, gnome file manager is objectively inferior in features to Nemo, and don't get me started on the desktop, when you click an application icon on the application bar it doesn't even minimize like on every other desktop interface.
Either ubuntu ships a broken version of gnome or it just sucks, and there are also all kind of management issues that make development very inefficient.
