Re: Compiz
1. CD have about 700 MB , ISO from website have Size: 2.9GB So you need USB pendrive / Flash Drives / memory sticks

2. I tested Linux Mint on distrosea. Linux Mint 21.3 includes Compiz but is disabled.
Edited.
If I may comment.
Mate was created to be a lighter desktop environment than Gnome.
1. USB is popular and economical enough that you can have at least two devices. One for private files and the other as a rescue system.
2. In my opinion, disabled Compiz is unnecessary.
It's better to create a script that asks whether to install and install it with a ready configuration.
Compiz without animation can also be very light, but still needs some refinement.
3. Sometimes we have better and better computers,
but the system is also becoming heavier ( systemd, additional applications at startup and window composer enabled by default )
We have no control over some things.
But I suggest giving the user a choice after installation whether he wants to enable composer or not.
4. I don't know how, but you can try to create your own customized ISO with your own applications.
For example with enabled
Plank / Avant Window Navigator / Cairo Dock / Latte , Compiz , Emerald, GRUB2 Theme / rEFInd Theme
Just warn users that these are advanced tools and may cause problems with weak hardware and in certain conditions.

Re: Compiz
1. My Mint Mate installation uses Compiz.
2. The Mint Mate Live ISO is defaulted to "marco+compositing", but I can switch to "compiz" in a few clicks.
