Even if Mint (Cinnamon) doesn’t look as good as GNOME, you can always install another desktop environment.

I’d recommend fedora silverblue. You’ll install all graphical packages via a Software store and you won’t brick your system. Even if, you may just recover an old state. I installed media codecs via the software store, not command line.

Fedora is very beginner friendly too
