If you plan to upgrade, you need to do so in two steps, 21.04 → 21.10 → 22.04

LTS Ubuntu, at least, has the linux-generic-hwe package that allows you to install newer kernels in Ubuntu. I do not know if this feature exists in 21.04.

Quite honestly, I would repartition so /home/ is on it’s separate partition and then just do a clean install of 22.04, it is probably less hassle than 21.04 → 22.04. To be sure it works, run the live distro first.

I cannot guarantee that all the packages you have will exist in 22.04, but most should stick around. Take note of which ones you need and look in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ to see which custom installs you have.

I can confirm the GWE flatpak is working with Ubuntu 22.04 and NVIDIA driver 510.73.05 so would expect Pop!OS to work too.
