I love Pop!_OS and the UI is amazing once you get comfortable with it. That being said, the constant automatic updating of the kernel is an annoyance to me. Every other distro I've used gives you the choice of when to update kernels. The same approach extends to overall updating, which gives you little to no control over the process. It is all or nothing! (Which, I admit, probably helps to keep things stable.) Mint simply does it better.
In the end, though, what caused me to move on and give Linux Mint XFCE a try for gaming on my new-to-me Nvidia MX150 laptop was the stale Nvidia driver support in Pop!_OS. The same reason I left Manjaro. Believe it or not, Mint offers a more recent driver series than either Pop!_OS or Manjaro! They also update the legacy drivers more quickly.

Is there a way to update the DE? I know I could switch to something different like Plasma, but all I really want is a more up-to-date version.

It might be possible to make your own adjustments to the user interface using using various Gnome customization tools but I haven't tried. I've only played with Extension Manager.
