I run pop daily.
Ubuntu has the most hardware support out of the box. If I was going back to more straight Ubuntu, I'd rock mint again.
I have no idea why you would want to make it harder on yourse...
I used only Mint with Ubuntu, for about 10 years. The new laptop has Debian and I initially hated it and wanted to switch back, but I'm already used to it and distro inertia has entered the chat.
