Yeah Mint doesn't have it in driver manager. I hear Ubuntu does. Almost makes me want to switch if it wasn't for my hatred of Unity.
I don't know about your level of Linux proficiency, but if you can't figure it out on Mint, maybe try one of the rolling release distros? Antergos is a noob-friendly Arch and is what Mint is to Ubuntu. Even comes with the cinnamon DE. I've also heard good things about openSUSE Tumbleweed.

But if you want to try Ubuntu without Unity, there's always Xubuntu, Kubuntu etc.

Maybe I am mistaken. There is the open source X.org driver in the driver manager. Is that the same thing as Mesa ? I thought they were different. Maybe I was making this way more complicated than it had to be.

BTW: This upgrade won't make your drivers "say Mesa". Like I explained earlier, all of the free software graphics drivers you see in the driver manager are Mesa drivers.
