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?

sudo apt install gnomeSeriously, I don’t get distro hoppers. “I want my desktop wallpaper to be green. Can you tell me how to install an entirely new operating system with a green background?”
I agree with you, but next time… let people enjoy things
Manjaro gnome? Or skip the middle man and go to Debian
What middle-man are you skipping? Manjaro is based on Arch.
Perhaps you meant Ubuntu as Ubuntu is based on Debian and Mint is based on Ubuntu. I agree that I would prefer plain Debian these days over Ubuntu but Debian does not have everything out of the box a Mint or Ubuntu user may like.
Regardless, do not use Manjaro. If you cannot install Arch but like it, use EndeavourOS.
If they like Mint, they should just install GNOME on it.
If you reread my comment you’ll answer your own question if you have a basic understanding of the English language
@manapropos @LeFantome love it when d-bags make these kinds of comments. Now I get to keep my mute list happy by feeding it another name. You know, Linux users get a bad rap because of snark like this.
Lemmy is the first place I heard about changing distro to change DE. Just install the other DE.
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
If you use the nala apt frontend, it comes with a history command like Fedora. Really useful for undoing specific changes.
