So, I’m a novice Linux user and have been on Ubuntu for maybe 2 years now. And I’m just starting to really hit the SNAPS wall - IE, just a bit too much of what I want doesn’t install through snaps. Is there a good progression for my “next distro after Ubuntu?”. Still need some training wheels, but ready to take the next step.
i had to learn linux 25 years ago in college the year i was an engineering undergrad (that sucked. not the work, the people) and i mostly don’t want to reinvest the time to learn it again. but mint seems like the right distro for what i want to do.

Yes. Linux Mint has got your back.
I also vouch for Mint in your case because it’s based on Ubuntu there is less of a learning curve than Fedora/OpenSuse

Look at Fedora or OpenSUSE.
Another vote for Mint. I run Mint on anything graphical and straight Debian on anything headless; ten years ago that was Ubuntu and Debian instead
