For what it's worth, I tried loading up Linux Mint 19 Cinnamon the other day.. buttery smooth (Vega 56, open drivers, 144Hz 1440p), just like Unity and...

Performance enhancements.. looking forward to when Shell catches up to Unity for smooth performance. Putting CLUTTER_DEFAULT_FPS=144 in /etc/environment...
