It is a fork, meanong its like ubuntu but with the bullshit that makes ubuntu bad renoved. It is conpletly safe but if you wanna stay clear of any trace of ubuntu at all there is also a debian based version pf mint
I would recommend only community maintained distros at this point… seing as how RH and Canonical went to the dark side for some things, I’d rather not recommend something maintaned by a company.

Debian Mint is the way to go now for entry in Linux if you ask me.
LMDE and PopOS are my consistent recommendations to newcomers. If one doesn’t work, the other will.
