Ubuntu doesn't come with Unity anymore either. They switched to GNOME 3 with a couple preinstalled extensions like the dock with 17.10. If you don't like GNOME 3 there is KDE and XFCE versions readily available. There's even a cinnamon remix if you want that. You can also just change anything you want...
Last time I used Linux Mint they were forcing DDG as the default browser search engine and they were extremely aggressive about that as it doesn't even come with the option to switch to Google pre-included. It's honestly easier to switch from Bing to Google in Microsoft Edge than Firefox on Mint. At least last time I tried. Left a bad taste in my mouth.
