Yes. But that's highly subjective, as I fucking hate Ubuntu and the direction it has taken. I don't mind distros that are based on Ubuntu, though, so based on that I'd go for Pop rather than stock Ubuntu.

For the record, I run LMDE as my daily driver.

Iโ€™ve been contemplating making the switch from Pop to LMDE. Have you encountered many issues daily driving LMDE?

No. Only one, but I'm sure I'd have to deal with the same in other distros: New laptop last year with Nvidia 4060 -> Needs a relatively new driver -> needs a relatively new kernel, newer than what the OS provides as default.

I had to experiment for a while to find a combination of nvidia driver and kernel version that worked well. Took me at least a few hours to sort everything out.
