"Linux Mint Highly Compressed" typically refers to unofficial, modified versions of the Linux Mint operating system that have been shrunk using extreme compression algorithms (like LZMA or ZPAQ) to fit into very small file sizes—often as low as 10MB to 50MB for a download that extracts into a full 2GB+ ISO.

First, a reality check. The official Linux Mint ISO is already compressed. The .iso file you download uses SquashFS, a highly efficient, read-only compressed filesystem. The standard compression algorithm used by Ubuntu (and thus Mint) is (default) or increasingly zstd (Zstandard).
