It’s very fast on older hardware. Leaves out a lot of the modern transitions. Very simple start menu style browsing. Minimal customization options. And mint itself is very stable and comes with a good set of default software. Almost no command line needed

It doesn’t have modern transitions? I know some people that would get a bad impression of Linux in general if the DE you gave them to use didn’t look modern, but I’m sure it will work well for some people, and older hardware.

Well, it’s best for older hardware. I think a laggy experience is worse than a fast one with a simple DE

Yeah, I agree with you for older hardware, speed and performance trumps modernity and fancy graphics.
