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.

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

      Yeah, the base repositories are the same (along with Debian). In addition, Ubuntu gives access to the snap store, while Mint uses a flatpak repo. It won’t mean a lot to everyone–the main distinction between the distros is the default DE.
