It may be just the selection of the current drive you're in? Does it show an x on another drive when you select it?

It's common for windows updates to delete boot parts or Linux, corrupt grub, etc. That is only when windows and Linux are installed on the same drive together. I have yet to see Windows corruping Linux on a separate drive entirely. Never happened to me despite how much I ~~mess up my grub updates~~ distro hop.

I'd recommend having the Linux drive unplugged during the windows installation. Windows, for some reason, will install the boot loader in an entirely different drive than what you selected. There's no question or prompt to prevent this. The only way to easily prevent this is to just have the one drive plugged in.

Windows 11's TPM led me to believe I wouldn't be able to upgrade my machine without windows thinking I need a new license, as it had happened for windows 11. I found a workaround but didn't know if it would work for Windows 11 as well. I want to control my machine so I went with Linux.

Websites can be vague, or outdated. Is there any error from running the command?

You got any of that evidence?

I'd recommend KDE and Gnome. They're the two most popular and mainstream DEs. If you ever plan on switching to another distro, being familiar with these two will benefit you.

If you feel really confident, you can start playing with window managers.

Most distros are the same under the hood. I'd recommend downloading different desktop environments. You can stay on Mint and keep all your files.
