I’m about to download either Linux Mint 19 MATE or Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS onto a flash drive.
I was wondering if any of you with experience in this area would have any tips or recommendations before I proceed.
Thanks!

Two points in particular made by Extraterrestrial_Zoologist have solidified my thinking:
1)“Presently I have Ubuntu Mate 18.04 set up with XP running in a VM for some apps that I could do without, but really like too much to just do away with - and it runs better as a guest OS than it ever did natively”
2)“One great nicety about Ubuntu Mate is that it can easily be made to resemble the classic, ordinary desktop that so many folks have become comfortable with”
I’m going to buy an Ubuntu MATE 18.04.1 LTS pre- loaded flash drive (less than $20). It’ll be simpler and error free for a novice like me.
