This is the dumbest question, but where is the side panel on the menu with the shutdown option (yes I know it's not a screenshot don't bully me)

Power options are usually on the top right of your screen.

Should be on top right of the menu. On the same horizontal line as your name.

The only options that were there was sign out and lock screen

If you click "Sign out", does it give you an option to power off?

Yeh, it's just I was setting this laptop up for a senior and was trying to make it as simple as possible when I explain things like shutting it down

if you still didn't discover it, try to take a bigger picture, i don't use mint so i don't remeber exactly where it was, but i csn remember with the bigger picture

haha look at this dweeb he doesn't even know how to take a screenshot!
