Mint also removes Snap, of course, but it replaces it with Flatpak.

Zinc removes both, adds native support for Appimages, and it offers
two better native package managers for the command line. The "nala"
command does all the usual stuff, but faster and easier. The "deb-get"
command will find 3rd party stuff that's not in the repos and
install/update it for you.

It's Xubuntu, with a nicer desktop setup, and better .deb package
management tools with none of the controversial cross-distro package
stuff.
