Any distros like linux mint with gnome desktop?

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?

Just install Ubuntu, run unsnap, add some repos for Firefox (oe just use Flatpaks), remove extensions (is that possible?)

I would never use an older version of Ubuntu just to fix some things. The problems arent that huge.

But apart from that, why not Fedora? Its not actually that different if you dont depend on edgy software only available as .deb
