I would probably agree, overall. But, as I said, it has issues of its own.
E.g. I don't think Flatpak is much better than Snap.
Mint's update process is unnecessarily picky. It is too cautious, IMHO, and its insistence on old kernels (as Dr Syntax quite rightly points out) is a nuisance. Also, version-to-version upgrades are discouraged, although they work fine these days.

That is what, broadly paraphrased, I said.
