Ubuntu is great but uses snaps and adds other canonical bits. Linux Mint is essentially perfect but does not come with gnome desktop. Is there a ubuntu based distro that is essentially like linux mint but offers gnome as a desktop?

    It doesn’t always go well, especially with beginners, I’ve tried Plasma on Ubuntu and decided to go back to gnome, spent whole lot of time trying to purge all the Plasma bloat but couldn’t

      That is a reasonable comment. There is so much overlap between cinnamon and GNOME though that I doubt it is an issue.

      If you use the nala apt frontend, it comes with a history command like Fedora. Really useful for undoing specific changes.
