What are some of the easiest ways for a beginner to make their system untable when they start tinkering with it?

Apparently running an update on Fedora. My flatpaks were broken on Fedora 40, so I thought it's a configuration issue on my part and did a clean reinstall when Fedora 41 came out. Issues were not present... until I ran an update.

I actually don't know. I tried investigating the issue, using different users, or trying from a clean install, or without my configs. I'm not sure about the sources of my issues. I know that one of the issues I had was unrelated (Tabliss in Vivaldi), but I'm not sure if the Flatpak issues and the Steam & Lutris Gaming issues were related, but I don't seem to have those issues on PopOS. For now at least. I haven't done any gaming yet but the flatpaks seem to be okay.

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.
