Yes. I daily drive pop os now. Hate to use flatpak for anything. Only install core packages, google chrome and vscode using apt. Almost everything else is installed using homebrew. The idea is have a base stable system for UI and basic shell. Usually get the latest packages from brew. Earlier same base system but had distrobox with arch toolbox. Planning on using this scheme going forward, especially since while I love rolling release, they sometimes might have regressions which I don’t want to deal with right away. And these regressions can be both at system level or user packages level. Having a stable base helps significantly in daily driving linux in real world.
