Is PopOs a good option if i don't want to tinker much with the OS and do some basic tasks as web browsing etc?

I agree with the other comment.

I found KDE Neon and Ubuntu pretty easy to use out of box as well.

PopOS has, maybe, a benefit of Nvidia drivers? But Mint installed them for me during the intro Toot Oriole.

edit: Clarified KDE to add Neon

Not to be pedantic but KDE is a desktop environment not a an OS. Perhaps you were thinking of KDE Neon?

Ah, thank you. It was KDE Neon, sorry!

I’ve been using Pop!_OS for about a month now and it’s been great! I only had one issue (completely my fault) which caused me to have a black screen upon login after a reboot.

Personally I’d wait for their new desktop environment, but otherwise it’s a good distro for less experienced users.

And as a result of their working on the new desktop environment their current gnome version is pretty outdated

In addition to all the responses here, one thing you could also do when you have a question about a distro is to just fire up a VM using for example VirtualBox and try the distro to see for yourself. Or even better, make a live USB and boot from it.

I found Mint with Cinnamon to be a better out of the box experience, I can’t stand Gnome anymore.
