In 2004 grandpa gave me an old laptop from 1995 to play around with. I wanted it to be faster so I tried using g.ho.st. That was a terrible experience, too slow of internet, cloud computing was never gonna work. After that I tried suse. They had this fancy iso builder at the time that let me pick all the packages I want from the repo and have them present on my ISO.
That's started my journey, outside of school I've had Linux exclusively since.
If you're using an Arch Based distribution and have access to a USB keyboard so you can use standard HID drivers during setup you should be able to follow along on this wiki to use the software included in the ASUS Linux stack. It appears they have some nonsense going on. Tbh I didn't know about this until looking just now and I'm gonna be going through here and getting the tools I need since I've got an ROG mobo I think would benefit
What laptop model?
I'm a big fan of raytraced Minecraft, but I also generally use texture packs that benefit from ray tracing. I've found that rather than something for realisim, finding a high resolution cartoony texture pack makes RT shine for Minecraft. Because yes, the game looks bad on purpose, lean into that and make it cartoonier too.
It makes for great survival horror when you're on the cutest cartooniest texture pack you can find and you're out after dark without a torch or lantern and its just pitch black except for the light of the moon, barely illuminating silhouettes against the deep purple sky. You see the monsters approaching. You turn a corner and see it, the most adorable thing you've ever seen, with death in its eyes made visible only by your own reflected moonlight. It's too dark to run. Good luck.
If you feel the need to point out the difference between pedophilia and hebephilia you're probably a pedophile.
If you do it because you just confessed to being a hebephile, you're definitely a pedophile.
Teens are kids, you can't change my mind.
Based on your last paragraph, you might fall in the supernoob catergory. You'll want an immutable distribution, you can't break those Unless you tell it to let you break it.
As a windows user, you'll find familiarity in Fedora Kionite.
If you prefer a touchscreen oriented experience consider Fedora Silverblue.
There's a few other options on the page I'm linking, I haven't tried and therefore can't recommend either of the others.

Edit 2, electric boogaloo:
OP in your post you state you want Wallpaper Engine to work, unfortunately, you'll have issues there. Depending on what you're trying to accomplish with wallpaper engine you may be able to do the same using KDE Plasma. I personally use a VLC command line call to enable animated wallpapers on my rig, there's not exactly a standard for it on Linux so many of the solutions you find will be clunky. Just remember if you go around messing with your xorg.conf file you need to have a backup of it so you can undo changes easily in a terminal.

Expiration dates are literally made up, very infrequently will any actual testing be done to see the exact time it takes for a food to decay enough to be either unenjoyable, unpalatable or inedible.
They're usually 1 week from mfgr for unpreserved foods, 2 weeks to a month for soft foods like American sandwich bread, 3 months to a year for dry goods (depending on what it is) and up to several years for canned goods.
My salt has an expiration date. Salt is a rock, it is millions of years old (not sea salt, mined salt). It does not expire.
This is an extremely popular opinion among those who've not unpacked that what you're describing is eugenics
My one complaint in your comment is the "if you're a good artist you'll find work", it's simply not true.
I'm a shit artist (im an untrained outsider slapping paint on surfaces to vaguely resemble what my clients ask for) and I find work, yet none of my friends who are legitimately talented are finding anything.
Hey friendo I think you accidentally a word
I waited years for star citizen until Ibrealized you can pick up Elite Dangerous for like $15 on sale and its basically what star citizen is trying to be
