Ubuntu or pop! os - Lemmy.world

I’m planning on moving to linux from windows(personal) and macos(work use), although I prefer mac os, so I don’t really want to use mint, and I feel like I should add that I don’t care if GNOME isn’t that similar to macos, I want something different, and I also use my computer for gaming

PopOS for sure. Ubuntu hasn’t been great lately.
Why PopOS and why isn’t Ubuntu great lately? Did I miss something?

But why not just uninstall snap and install flatpack?
Because Ubuntu will reinstall snapd during some updates and then try to replace some native apt packages to snap
