So a desktop is the interface you use your computer with. Most Desktops come with things like a file manager and a windows manager (the thing that manages the placement of windows)
The difference between Ubuntu and Debian is that Ubuntu is based on Debian. Its been modified but it has the same base. I don’t like Ubuntu as they are pushing snaps really hard and its harming the user experience.
Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu. However, its much more user friendly and features a desktop with apps that can handle every aspect of you system. It doesn’t come with snaps and has flatpak enabled along with native packages.
If you aren’t understanding that isn’t a big deal as Linux mint has a easy installer.

So, it’s just best to experiment with multiple desktops? I read through mint’s page about different versions, which I understand what they were talking about with the different desktops.
So, it’s pretty much all the same? Except debian and Ubuntu use different software distribution stuff?
Also, before I asked this question, I found a website that listed different distro’s and what they were best for, weirdly. They mentioned nothing about Mint. Nut they did say, parrotOS, which, I’ll be honest, I’m not too sure about the different between that and Kali, but I’ll get there. Probably.
They also list : Kodachi, pop!OS, and Nitrux, but with the possible exception of pop, I haven’t heard of the other two. (They listed more, but they were the ones I decided to look into. Again, before asking.)

Most of those websites are crap. You should ignore them. Check out distrowatch for more information.
