That's a great list, you could probably add yt-dlp for those who want to download and/or convert on their desktops (on Android Newpipe dose a great job for that) but in terms of noteworthy frontends and clients the list looks very comolete to me!

When I switched from Windows definitely Cinnamon but by now it's Gnome, it's a little odd at first but I absolutely love the workflow!
As a Gnome user, a expansion of that background apps think that properly replaces Appindicators!
Hmmm, I definitely have to look into that!
True!
The Fairphone part of that review is great but it also includes a lot of Greenwashing from short term garbage producers like Apple and Samsung in a very uncritical way, I can recommend it as a Fairphone review but be aware that the rest isn't great!
It's still a little buggy and lacks many of the CSGO features, I just wish they didn't disable CSGO that early, that worked great!
I have a question regarding that too, I tried to get a GOG copy from Fitgirl working with Lutris but it keeps asking more for authendifiation to run one of the presets and the button for that seems broken so I can't evdn try to log in.
It's a little hit or miss and fairly unstable at times but I use Piped to avoid any of that shit!
The terminal is fantastic once you roughly understand what the commands you execute do but that requires a bit of experience and it's great to have GUI tools for certain things. Modern Linux usually covers everything a normal user should need with GUI tools but there are always edge cases where you have to do something more advanced and I feel like especially those are tough to do in a terminal for new users which is why I appreciate Mint so much! It's been quite a few years since I switched so many things are different by now but I moved back to Windows two times myself from Kubuntu and Manjaro before I discovered Mint so I never get tired to recommend it. Good luck on your journey! ;)
It's a fantastic distro to get started, I think the main advantage are various GUI tools for more advanced things that other distros usually require the Terminal for which can be a bit scarry at first. Elementary looks a lot more like MacOS and might be a little more familiar at first while Mint has a fairly similar layout to traditional Windows (7/10), keep in mind that nether of them is a copy tho and you will run into differences. I do think that Mint is the best beginner Distro because of those GUI tools but it can't hurt to try both, almost all Linux distros have live boot to play with them from a USB stick first so you won't have to actually install anything to check them out. In case you go for Mint make sure to pay attention to the welcome screen once you installed it, that guides you through a lot of stuff like configuring automatic backups and the driver manager to download potentialky missing drivers!
Oh and Smart Tube next, that's what I use on my Android TV and it even has Sponsorblock!
