Excellent news, at least you have a working environment for both now, until you can get Mint onboard in a couple of months.
My advice would be for you to follow up with the Timeshift process first, but I will tell you how to put Cinnamon on your Ubuntu install so you can follow through with that when you choose (always best to be fresh with a lot of these processes, too).
All it takes is
When completed, reboot.
When you boot to Ubuntu, at the login screen, there will be an icon of a gear or cog near bottom right of screen, probably.
If so, click it and you will see a choice that includes just the word
Cinnamon
Click that either before or after you have typed your password but before you press Enter.
You should launch into a session of Cinnamon.
That process with the cog choice is a Toggle switch, that means that the following time that you reboot it will launch into Cinnamon, and will keep doing so until or unless you change it back to Ubuntu's default.
I'll provide more info tomorrow, but have to sign off soon to get tea ready before Farmer Wants A Wife.
Cheers
