Will hardware support from newer kernels be backported to older LTS kernel?
use the Mainline Tool to install the latest kernel: https://github.com/bkw777/mainline

Longterm kernel .deb packages
on Ubuntu or derivates of it like Linux Mint just use https://github.com/bkw777/mainline which pulls newer updates automatically

Reviving an old MacBook with Linux? Do these immediately.
On Mint 21? I don't think so. The only possible way would be to install Mint 20.3 which comes with the older Cinnamon before the Mutter rebase. You could then install a newer kernel like 6.3 using Mainline, but you would be stuck with an Ubuntu 20.04 base which means much older apps in the repositories.

Beelink S12 N100/16GB/500GB: An absolute nightmare for HTPC/media server
Out of the box Ubuntu and derivatives (and also Debian upstream of Ubuntu) are probably shipping with older kernels. Normally I'd just suggest installing the GUI kernel version management tool mainline (IIRC mainline should just be available in the Ubuntu software center) and just installing a more recent kernel to get support. Though you indicated you didn't want to touch the command line, it is also very possible to load drivers that are not shipped with the kernel if someone were willing to do so.

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.
