For Steam/games, i was trying to run "windows" stuff, as the games were not native. For other things, like sound (never worked right), Blender (took me a few days to learn i had to run Blender through an app that forces GPU), or the file sync, they were supposed to be native. But I was doing a lot of fighting. I wasn't reading distro recommendation sites, I was trying to troubleshoot issues. "Here is how you fix this issue on Ubuntu, no instructions for any other flavor)." (but I installed a derivative of Arch because I was interested in the rolling release instead of fixed releases, and turns out there was significantly less troubleshooting material)

I might go back again, maybe with a dual boot scenario, and try again without

Arch wiki is the most comprehensive Linux wiki. Try that.
