I want to switch to Ubuntu

I've distrohopped many times and I can say that I have tried the " normal" base distro's out there ( Debian, Arch, Fedora, Opensuse, no Slackware/Gentoo/Solus though) . I haven't really got my perfect fit. Arch, bothers me with too many updates; Like I've gotten 2 updates in a single day from Electron 34! Can't use debian for being too "old". Can't use other Ubuntu based distros because they are mostly based on ubuntu LTS, which I don't want. Fedora is the one I am most comfortable with , but it has the problem of relying on flatpaks too much! And the flatpak subsystem takes too much of my storage, which I don't like. Like, different flatpaks need multiple versions of the same "runtime". However, I now want to give ubuntu a shot! Most of the packages available for linux are available as deb! But many many people suggest against ubuntu. But what if I take a customized approch; Can I customize ubuntu enough to make it "good"? Not using snap and things like that? Are there any other objections against ubuntu, that I might not be able to fix easily?
