I know that the change from Ubuntu to Mint won't make much difference to the AV stuff, I just fancied a change of scene.
I think you will like Mint, they do a good job. It's a pretty stable system. You should probably add the liquorix kernel, though, they don't have a low-latency kernel in their repos. I've used Mint with liquorix recently and confirm that they work well together.
The one thing you'll find about Mint is that you won't be able to run the latest versions of everything, because they value stability over cutting-edginess. Some of the less-used audio software is way out of date, sometimes by quite a few point releases if not more. I found that aggravating and switched to Arch, then Manjaro, both noted for being getting the latest and greatest quickly. Manjaro has been OK so far, but I wouldn't say I've committed to it yet. Sometimes you'll find more up-to-date packages by adding PPAs and such, so some of it can be mitigated, but other times, like for software built with GTK4 for example, you just have to punt.
