Isn't Mint an ubuntu offshoot, or does it avoid the flatpak/snap issues?

Linux Mint is an Ubuntu offshoot that doesn't use Snaps but does include Flatpak support.

Not only does it include Flatpak support, but as of 21.1 it can even handle Flatpak updates through the GUI Update Manager alongside .deb packages from standard repos/PPAs.[1]
