I’ve been considering putting Mint on my system, then adding the new version of Unity that Canonical doesn’t contribute to. Last time I used Linux was when Ubuntu finally had Unity working well and I really miss the HUD thing. Tapping alt to search the menus for the tool I wanted in Gimp was very nice.
I have no idea. I wound up removing Linux from my system years ago due to Pulse/ALSA problems and going back to Windows. Not willing to pay a subscription for extended Win10 support, and I won’t touch 11, so I’m looking at moving back to Linux. Especially since audio is supposed to be better now.
Why not good old Mint?

Dont you have to reinstall mint if you want to install os updates?
No. Both day to day patches and major upgrades are done through the update manager app

I think they have an automated script that does it now?
GUI is primary, a few clicks in the same app that you do your normal day to day updates in when a major release comes out.
There is a command line version but the gui is a doddle, and there’s no driving reason to use the CLI - it’s a distro aimed at beginners
