It could be, but I haven't used it in at least a decade, so I can't say. Agree though - it's good to be plugged right into the support channels for a distro. I do remember that Mint always put a huge focus on being sure that noobies knew where to get help, and were aware of how things "worked" as much as they needed to be. I hope/assume this ethos has continued.
