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?

      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.
