As an alternative, you can specify base DNS servers for resolvconf at /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base, which won't be overwritten. It uses the same syntax. That way you can keep running Ubuntu or Mint the default way. Then tell resolvconf to regenerate resolv.conf with sudo resolvconf -u.
However, you can remove resolvconf:
sudo apt-get remove resolvconf. It is safe to do so. Then write your desired DNS resolvers into /etc/resolv.conf.
You may not be able to use DNS management features in other programs that automatically manage your network (networkmanager) anymore.

If you're uncomfortable with removing theresolvconfpackage, remove/etc/resolv.conf(on systems with theresolvconfpackage it will be a symlink to/run/resolvconf/resolv.conf) and create the file with the contents you desire.
