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?

Lemmy is the first place I heard about changing distro to change DE. Just install the other DE.
There’s usually some kind of integration between the DE and the underlying system that isn’t replicated by installing the DE without a bunch of configuration. But yeah, the line is definitely blurred nowadays.
