FWIW I’ve been using Linux Mint for years and have never had a major issue. Most minor issues are with out of date repository packages which can usually be installed by other means.

Isn't Mint an ubuntu offshoot, or does it avoid the flatpak/snap issues?

Linux Mint is an Ubuntu offshoot that doesn't use Snaps but does include Flatpak support.

Not only does it include Flatpak support, but as of 21.1 it can even handle Flatpak updates through the GUI Update Manager alongside .deb packages from standard repos/PPAs.[1]

I'll add to this: one that uses KDE, please. Kubuntu has served me well but I'm tired of Canonical's shit.

I've had several people recommend the testing branches of Debian for relatively up-to-date software while still being stable FWIW

Sid?

popos maybe?
