I recommend Umbrel or StartOS. You can download the installer software, flash it to a USB drive (with software like Belena Etcher), boot off the USB drive, run the installer (takes about 5 minutes), take the USB stick out, reboot the machine, and you are off to the races.

Is Cinnamon Mint OK substitute for StartOS?

I think I'll just do the UmbrelOS straight away. Seems to be what I want as a Google drive replacement as well.

StartOS is specifically for running a node and other servers. It is not a general distribution of Linux. If you go with Mint, you'll be manually installing, configuring and administrating the software, whereas with StartOS, it's more of an app store experience, where a lot of configuration of all the moving parts is done for you.
