Re:Ubuntu 20.04 LTS’ snap obsession has snapped me off of it

Other threads have suggested various relatively-new distros as alternatives when stuff like this keeps coming up with Ubuntu. The two I have in mind to check out at some point in the future are Pop!_OS and Void Linux.
Pop! is Ubuntu-based, so no idea of the situation with all these other problems, but it intrigues me because they're doing tiling windows first-class.
My understanding of Void is that it doesn't use snaps or systemd, making the system as a whole significantly easier to understand, and simply sounds much much closer to what I want out of a computer (and much like 8.04 was when I first switched to Ubuntu).
