Isn't Mint kinda better Ubuntu these days? Could be worth the check if you are into Ubuntu.

Does Mint carry on the snap stuff? Usually I recommend POP!_OS for new users.

Nope, I can run it on old potato with 3GB of RAM and i doubt i could run Ubuntu's full snaps flotila . They also remove the telemetry of Ubuntu. But AFAIK you can turn on snaps. The way i understand it Mint has these main goals : get rid of questionable Ubuntu things, keep it super stable, be welcoming to newcommers (like my none tech parents who never seen Linux could just use Mint outbox the box)
