From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It sounds like at least part of your bad experience with the install was your motherboard's fault.
For the issue with video in games, sometimes the codecs are missing from WINE/Proton. If possible, try using GloriousEggroll's Proton fork
If you're referring to the USB thing, I also tried booting Memtest86, GParted and Ubuntu to test, and all of them booted from a live USB without me having to unplug everything. That was totally unique to Pop_OS.
As for the proton, I'll try that fork. I did try a couple forks, though the latest Wine-GE is the only one I can think of the name of.
Edit: I'm using Lutris, and Wine-GE is the non-steam equivalent of Proton-GE, so... whomp whomp I guess
