Re:Linux Mint Dumps Ubuntu Snap on Friday June 05, 2020 @07:07PM (#23435028)
Pop OS [1] does something similar. Based on Ubuntu, but replaces snap with flatpak. You can apt-get packages like chromium from their PPA [2].

I'm very pleased with their developer centric approach. They also apply very nice UI tweaks, a tiling WM and a useful set of gnome extensions. Loving it.
