1. Modern Tiling Window Management
   While Cinnamon has "window snapping," it lacks a sophisticated, built-in Auto-Tiling engine.
   What’s missing: A native feature (like "Pop Shell" in Pop!_OS) that automatically resizes and organizes windows into a grid as you open them, which is a huge productivity booster for power users.
2. High-DPI Scaling (Fractional Scaling) Improvements
   Mint has made progress here, but it still struggles with Fractional Scaling (like 125% or 150%) on certain hardware.
   What’s missing: A crystal-clear UI at non-integer scales. Often, choosing 125% results in slight blurriness or higher CPU usage compared to macOS or Windows.
3. Integrated Global Search
   The Mint menu search is good for finding apps and files, but it isn't a "Global Search."
   What’s missing: A centralized search tool (like Spotlight on Mac or Krunner on KDE) that can do quick calculations, convert currencies, search the web, and find system settings all from one floating bar.
4. Native "Cloud-First" File Picker
   If you use Google Drive or Dropbox, the file picker in Mint treats them like distant folders.
   What’s missing: A modern file picker that integrates cloud "on-demand" files, allowing you to see your entire cloud library without downloading everything to your hard drive first.
5. Official Modern Dark Mode (Consistent Theming)
   Mint has "Dark Mode," but because it uses a mix of GTK3, GTK4, and XApps, the look isn't always consistent.
   What’s missing: A unified theming engine that ensures every single app—including Flatpaks and system tools—looks exactly the same and respects the accent color perfectly.
6. A "Gaming Mode" Toggle
   With Steam Deck and Linux gaming exploding, Mint feels a bit "old school" here.
   What’s missing: A simple toggle to disable desktop effects, silence notifications, and prioritize CPU/GPU resources for a game with one click.
7. Touchscreen Gestures
   If you install Mint on a laptop with a touchscreen or a 2-in-1, the experience is clunky.
   What’s missing: Smooth, 1-to-1 finger gestures for switching workspaces, zooming, or swiping back in the browser—features that GNOME and Windows 11 do much better.

The Mint menu search is good for finding apps and files, but it isn't a "Global Search."

Finding apps is what a app menu should do, nothing more. Mint is not Windows.

If you use Google Drive or Dropbox, the file picker in Mint treats them like distant folders.

They are distant folders.

I think classify their cloud folders will be tecnically better?

If an app supports dark mode, it will show dark. Give me one counterexample. However not all of them support GTK themes, but it's good that you can still easily theme those that do.
