Not sure why you are downvoted, what you said is true. Mint has some WIP to support Wayland in Cinnamon, but it's way behind other DEs and I wouldn't recommend using it.

Voted down because the "Linux Mint is terrible" statement clearly isn't true.

Wong wording may be, but the point of the post is correct. Mint just lags behind with Wayland support and in being up to date for handling recent hardware especially.

The former is Mint's specific problem, while the latter is a general problem of all long period release distros that don't take care of updating Linux kernel, Mesa and etc. to actual recent releases.

When Mint always comes up as a distro for newbies coming from Windows, then lacks all the features of a modern system, yes, it's terrible.
