Well technically, it is. So any explanation is going to be fuzzy and non-technical. I think the reasoning is that Ubuntu uses less-popular packages by default. So if you learn how to do something on Ubuntu, that probably doesn't tell you how to to it on any other distro of Linux. So if you want to learn "Linux" it might be more productive to learn on a distro that uses more... normal packages, like Mint.
