hot damn... dare i to hope? dare i to DREAM? you know what, if anyone could get linux to be supported everywhere, it'd probably be valve.

Take a look at bazzite. It is built upon the idea of a steamOS PC, and comes very close. It is also quite beginner friendly and idiot proof due to its architecture and the ability to roll back to a working version at any time, in case you brick something on accident.

thank you for the suggestion! i tried linux mint years and years ago on a spare computer but i didn't really get 'into' it enough to feel like i could be used to it... but it would be super cool if the passage of time and new developments may have produced an even more approachable experience

If you try it (which I very much recommend!), don't be afraid to ask for help and further try not to be discouraged if the wrong type of person (eg "read the manual noob" type people) respond. The Linux community is full of both the most helpful and most elitist type of people, and an unfortunate amount of new users get scared away by the second group.
