There are a few things in your anecdote that are particular to your case and which should be solvable by an installer that focuses on gpu detection; those are the things that valve will focus on.

I'm sure it's solvable but I call these example "death by a 1000 papercuts". I don't want absolute newbies to face these issues which will make them give up Linux forever.

I am not saying that Linux can't be mainstream. I'm saying Nvidia is one of the blockades for Linux becoming mainstream. I have bazzite on my Rog Ally and it's a fantastic experience, way better than windows, but it's because of AMD.

If AMD can get an equal footing in the GPU landscape (unlikely in the next 5 years), maybe things can change. I just hope Nvidia comes to their senses and properly support Wayland.
