Which version of Linux Mint do you like and why?
Privacy is top priority. But I also need reliability. This will be on my main work desktop for creative projects. I am currently using Libre Office, Audacity, and Photoshop (an old 2015 version installed from CD) in Windows. No gaming.
Side note: Also looking for a photo editor similar to Photoshop that does not require a subscription. Just for basic color correction and touch-up of images with paint brush, eraser, clone, etc. Occasional text.

I prefer the Mint Cinnamon. I would say because that is the version that comes from Mint developers and has most development. But all three are perfectly fine.
Note there is a forth, LMDE. It only comes out of the box with Cinnamon. But based on Debian instead of Ubuntu. It is more to develop the concept to use Debian, but really interesting and possible to use, but I recommend standard Mint firstly as starting point.

Photo as other suggested. But for me is digiKam starting point for catalog and editing, but also RawTherapee for editing (Darktable potential alternative). More incl less complex alt exist. I would also add Gimp for more Photoshop-like editing.
