I’ve heard good things about pop os. Have you tried and liked any of the others? It was a bit unnerving to have my Firefox windows change all of a sudden due to upgrade.
Pop OS is great. I've used it when I need a laptop to Just Work quickly, and I have a non-technical family member who has been using it for about 2 years now with zero issues.
Pop OS is great. Of course I had some issues with UEFI stuff (since they don't use GRUB) but their website had great tutorials for NVMe SSDs.
And you have flatpak instead of snap (so no snap folder in your case).
But most importantly, they have a killer tiling extension for Gnome. It is superb.
Pop OS also has a great WIP tiling wm if you want something that doesn't require you to replace all the other creature comforts like sway or i3.
