Meanwhile, running on an outdated Stable Ubuntu base,

Fixed it, that is a feature not a bug. If you want to have a fairly up-to-date distro MINT is not the distro for you its a stable distro

Using old versions of packages ≠ Stable.

Run Linux Mint on newer hardware causes a lot of problems.

No new firmware packages, wireless, scheduler, power, etc.
