is linux mint a good option for me (used to win 7, 16 ram, core i7/2.9 ghz, no games, need office suite, audio/ video player, web browser

i'm used to win7 but it's time for new os due to win7 eol.
i've decided to switch to linux.
i use dell latitude e6440; cpu: intel core i7/2.9ghz; ram: 16gb;
i don't play computer games. i mostly work on my laptop (libreoffice), i also need youtube for my job.
i need a functional, reliable and stable system. compatible with canon lb 2900 printer. nothing sophisticated.
i've researched a bit. i can't go too far at the beginning cause i'm kinda ignorant.i'm considering mint cinnamon or mate, ubuntu mate, and opensuse.
mint cinnamon: better performance than ubuntu
- the desktop resembles win xp
- fast and straightforward software manager
however, i've heard it can be buggy
