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.
What are some alternatives?
