I'm not OP, but I tried Pop!_OS recently, and was quite pleased. It's basically just Ubuntu without the bad parts.

The latest POP!_OS release integrated Flatpak instead of Snap into their package manager. It's very well done in that you can choose if you want the deb or the flatpak version and it defaults to the deb as long as one is available.

The latest release also integrated an excellent window tiling manager into gnome, includes customizable gaps and everything.

POP!_OS is a fork of Ubuntu though, right? In that case if I try to install chromium using apt-get will it install the snap or the .deb?

It will install the .deb because they don’t have snap in Pop OS.

I hear about it often lately but what is better with Pop OS? Couldn't figure it out after testing for an hour.
