The Bun Shell
Many mobile apps are written in JS/TS with React Native.
Linux desktop environments like Cinnamon [1] also use JavaScript for the UI. Linux Mint with Cinnamon is invariably among the top 3 Linux desktop distributions (on distrowatch [2]).
If anything, stats probably don't accurately capture how ubiquitous JS is.

Lobotomizing Gnome
I agree that there is a balance between customization and "cleanness" in design and implementation.
However, I think the GNOME 3 and 4 designers went too far and alienated many users:

When a designer's "coherent vision" eclipses the needs of the software's users then users get frustrated and either fork the project or go to another project. MATE (https://mate-desktop.org/), Cinnamon (https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon), and Unity (https://unityd.org/) exist largely because of how far the GNOME 3 designers went and how they were not willing to compromise their "coherent vision":

Memory Leak in Cinnamon? (LMDE5 with default Cinnamon)
I'm not sure what the devs want to see in a case like this, but I'd try to report it either on the LinuxMint-Forums or on the cinnamon issue tracker on github.

Fedora Cinammon and KDE, are they Wayland and secure boot on as Gnome?
And I read Cinnamon being not yet out with a Wayland session as meaning that it’s in the works, but according to the Cinnamon team, “We still don't have any specific plans for implementing Wayland support…and we're not in a hurry to do so” (https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues/10787)

Wayland transition attempt, 2023 edition
Mind you, it's much easier to crash a Wayland compositor than an X11 window manager because so much more has to be done in the compositor process; Cinnamon devs mentioned this flaw as a major reason they won't support Wayland yet, because if a panel widget crashes, it will also crash the entire desktop.

F38 (Cinnamon): mouse cursor not stopping at right edge of screen on HDMI tv
I tried a few searches through open cinnamon issues but nothing really stood out yet OTOH, I know some of the recent changes to Nemo/Cinnamon had caused issues which I've run into myself in F37 (such as the new themes, some Nemo drag-and-drop issues, and another issue with Nemo's input focus when clicking the toolbar button to a new folder while you are renaming a file) so still plausible this could be a Cinnamon-specific bug.

How to install themes for my desktop environment by hand?
I believe the themes are found here https://github.com/linuxmint/mint-themes

Downloaded theme location?
There's no "master list" type resource that I'm aware of but you might find it easier to browse the colors on their github page: https://github.com/linuxmint/mint-themes/tree/master/src/Mint-Y/variations

Some Skeuomorphic Icons and Themes for Linux Devices
The Mint-X theme is always worth a mention. It looks great and is still shipped with Linux Mint releases. It has a gray sort of metal look. This is what I use. https://github.com/linuxmint/mint-themes The Mint-X icons are still available too but they're just from Faenza.

Comfortable with command line, inexperienced with GUI
In addition to this, I'd recommend grabbing the mint themes package. Not a requirement at all, but I like their defaults.

Mint-Y theme problem
How did you install the themes? It could be a packaging error if you're using a repo package. You could try downloading the .deb package from the latest release tag on github and extract the files from data.tar.xz/./usr/share/themes/ to ~/.themes

Thank you Debian Team for such a wonderful OS experience.
For future reference, the Linux Mint themes and icon pack are freely available on the Mint team's github. It's a lot easier than trying to get them from the actual Mint iso.
