Similar experience for me, tried to enjoy Ubuntu but Mint comes up more polished and, especially when using the dedicated XFCE release, much faster than default Ubuntu. Still worth doing the basics in terms of stopping services not needed for desktop/laptop use. I ended up removing 8 (!) resident services that were all of no use to me - tadaa, more RAM and responsiveness gained.
Note, I used:
"systemctl list-unit-files --type=service | grep enabled"
to find all enabled services easily and then:
"systemd-analyze"
for basic timing analysis
