looking around online it seems possible but apparently not a good experience? i think the posts were a bit old so maybe something has changed since then

Edit: i don't want to hop distro, i just want to change the desktop manager.

Why should the experience be essentially different from Kubuntu 22.04, as it uses essentially the exactly same repos?

Doesn’t Mint use native packages where Ubuntu is snap-happy?

AfaIk, Ubuntu uses some snap packages, e.g. Firefox, not the whole DE.

Mint uses flatpaks instead of snaps.

I mean the deb-repositories which are of concern for apt. Mint is basically Ubuntu plus an additional repository and thus binary compatible.
