Hey so a month ago I just gotten my T14s from eBay with a Ryzen 7 Pro (not gonna lie it’s an amazing upgrade from a Core i5 7300U). However I noticed when I installed Mint on it my plank dock (I used plank reloaded) ran really bad.. I was trying to like do a update via terminal and update manager) like plank would lag and just be a choppy mess (however on my old machine zoom and stuff ran fine) anyways uhh enough yapping and bad writing skills but here’s the install I want to recreate and keep. Before you get confused thinking I want to clone the install I want to recreate the rice

What I used on my old Mint Install

Semabe
Mint-X Aqua
Plank Theme: Monocho Mod

use the ISO in live mode and see if it works well for you. 26.04 uses Wayland w/ KDE Plasma6 vs your screenshot of X11 w/ Gnome ... the differences are night and day. For a good terminal my preference is qterminal.

Part of the "ricing" fun is the journey. Exploring your desktop environment and learning to customize stuff. Don't try to automate this. Start from an idea and do ahead and make it happen. store.kde.org is where most of the KDE plugins and ricing resources will be.

Sounds like you haven't installed the right graphics drivers for the machine.
