Yeah mint has been solid for me for a long time, and for what I need (Ubuntu based, X11 Display server, not snap reliant) Mint rules. Until now! The test will be how long pop lasts without breaking itself on an update.

I used Mint for years. Then Fedora. Then Pop! for a bit. Then Debian during my purist phase. Now I've found my way back to Ubuntu.
I found Pop! fun and usable. And I still use their shell extensions on Ubuntu and Fedora.
