Currently Linux Mint expect minimum resolution of 1024x768, and design its GUI dialogs with that expectation. However, many modern mainstream laptops within the last decade, especially the cheap models, migrated their old classic resolution from 1366x768 to 1920x1080, without really enlarging the physical size. Thus they are most comfortable being used with 150% UI scaling. When a 1920x1080 screen is treated with 150% UI scaling, its logical resolution become 1280x720, a little bit shorter than 768.

This is likely why even the latest Windows 11 asks for "720p" resolution in their system requirement. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11-specifications
I think Linux Mint should follow suit and make it better fit into those <16" 1080p laptops.
