Heh, reminds me of when I learned Linux. One day Windows 10 annoyed me so much that I swore never to use it as my main os again and started using Ubuntu. 2 days later I got so annoyed by it that I started to install Arch. I made lots of mistakes but had a working system which I ended up using for a year. Fun times. Nowadays I just use Fedora but I'm tempted to distro-hop again
I think Snap has the potential to be better than Flatpak. It's a real sandbox instead of the half-assed shit Flatpak has going on. The problem I have with Snap is that Canonical keeps the Server closed-source. I don't want a centralized app store where Canonical can just choose to remove apps they don't like. So as long as the Server is closed-source, I will stay on Flatpak
Elden Ring works great on Linux though. Even better than on Windows for some People

Which programs?
If you just want a terminal you can install termux from github right now. No need for a custom ROM. It will be fairly locked down but you can use almost all programs that there are for linux. I use yt-dlp in Termux to download youtube videos
This happens, because the stupid windows bootloader installs itself onto the same partition as the fedora bootloader instead of making it's own. So when you reinstall fedora, the windows bootloader is deleted. Look up how to reinstall windows bootloader
Damn, your girlfriend likes excavators? Lucky
Buy a pixel and install GrapheneOS
Let me tell you a small story about how I learned Linux:
Two years ago I was annoyed by Windows and not being able to customize it.
(What annyoed me in particular was that you had to go to the settings to manage bluetooth devices instead of being able to just connect paired devices from the icon tray)
I had already heard of Linux in the past and had already tried it but never fully switched over.
So I decided to install Ubuntu, everything worked well for a few days until I tried to do something it wasn't designed for and it broke.
(Ubuntu really isn't designed for users that want to change their system in any way)
After that I decided fuck it. I'll try Arch Linux. I was pretty tech-savy so I ignored all the warnings about it only being for advanced users. I installed it and it broke. I reinstalled and it didn't work again. But after a few times I had a running system and I felt very accomplished.
Now I'm not suggesting you go the way I went. I had the privilege on not really needing my Computer and only using it for recreational means. That's why I could leave it broken for a few days and not care that much.
If you want to learn Linux. Take the plunge, install Linux Mint, and learn as you go. You're probably going to fuck up sometimes. But ~~google~~ Startpage is always your friend. And if you don't get further, the community will always help you.
I bet that is Microsoft getting scared, that the Steam Deck is taking it's market share and paying Lenovo etc. to make Windows handhelds.
The UX will never be as good as the Steam Deck though since Windows just isn't made for that

Yeah it's alright. I've been using Tumbleweed on my Desktop PC for the last few months and I gotta say it's mid. They do hard drive unlocking in Grub instead of in the initfs which means that only LUKS 1 and with that only the not-so-secure PDKDF is supported, instead of argon2id which is the modern KDF you want to use. This is a small and annoying oversight in the distros security which is why I will not be using it in the future
