Mint's popularity is unfortunate because it (the last time I checked) defaults to X11, which gives you a desktop built on technology from 1984.

It's actually comments like this which will scare people the hell away from trying Linux.

My comment wouldn't exist if some distros didn't cling to X11.

I'd be more worried about the lack of HDR support. Shame they killed off the Plasma edition. To anyone considering using Mint you can install Plasma on top of it with ease and get a modern desktop that supports HDR. If you don't have an HDR monitor then Cinnamon is great.
