Silly question but is this a raspberry pi? I assume not since Linux Mint is for x86 64 bit machines. Are you just using the SD card because it is what you had? If you have a USB drive I would use that instead as sometimes device firmware doesn't work for booting off of USB.
If this is an ARM device there are other options
Yes, raspberry pi 4. With 4gigs of ram. Is that the issue?
Yes, that's the problem. You should probably start by downloading the official raspberry pi imager and choosing a distro from there to install to the SD card.

There are other ways to find images and plenty that aren't available there but that's the easiest way to get up and running. You'll probably want to start with the default raspberry pi os and start experimenting with more customized os's later.
See my reply to the other guy above.
