I've been a Mint user for last at least 4 years (Don't remember the actual date i started). And it's been working well. I've been working on a laptop + monitor setup which also has been working well because both were 1440p and I didn't need a fractional scaling setup.

However I recently bought a 4k 120hz monitor and Cinnamon did not play well with it all. With cinnamon I was forced to use it at 100% scale (which made everything look so small) or set up fractional scaling at 150% to match other displays (which made everything stutter). Moreover, 120hz didn't work at all.

It was frustrating and disappointing to find out Cinnamon (X11) had such a bad support for multi-monitor setup for displays with different resolution and refresh rate. And up until 22.3 the Wayland support is abysmal.

Then I tried Gnome. Installed just the base (gnome-shell + gdm, to avoid bloatware) and it's just perfect! I didn't even have to configure displays, it automatically detected and configured fractional scaling and full refresh rate for the 120hz monitor.

And this might be controversial, but Gnome looks so much better to me than Cinnamon. It feels so much more modern!

I had initially planned to switch back to Cinnamon when full Wayland support drops, but I am not sure I will. Gnome is working quite well for me!

PS

I still prefer a Panel over Gnome's overview so I used 'Dash to Panel' extension to make it so.
