I'm not a big fan of the new default icons for the categories in the start menu. But those are easily changed back to the old ones. Overall the new start menu customisability is nice, though.

Same here: I like the new menu and its customisability, but I don't like the new icons. (inb4 not blaming the Mint team for that.)
I also love how the upgrade was smooth. The only issue was PEBKAC, it took me a while to find how to revert category icons back to full colour (right-click menu, "configure", "appearance", "use symbolic icons for categories").
I would love it if my mouse acceleration wasn’t so wonky on a test install I did today, and to be fair I think it’s my specific mouse and only a mint problem, potentially isolated to X11, but it does not like the 8bitdo Retro R8. Hopefully they make a lot of Wayland progress by the next release!
I said in another comment that the upgrade was smooth, until I tried to use the Compose key. (I use it all the time.) It was just a matter of reconfiguring stuff:
- revert input method from iBus to XIM
- configure the XKB options to specify where the Compose key is.
Then it's working again. It used to show the sequence of keys I was typing, until I finished it, now it isn't any more, but... you know what, not a big deal.
EDIT: and now the dead keys aren't working. Goddammit.
EDIT2: it was ~~revkas~~ PEBKAC, again. I just had to configure the Compose key again, not fuck with the input method. iBus is working fine, the sequence of keys I'm typing is now being shown again, the dead keys are also working, and they finally fixed that silly ⟨C⟩ + ⟨´⟩ = ⟨Ç⟩ mess. (Now it outputs ⟨Ć⟩, as it should be.)
