I think a good comparison is Bell Labs and AT&T. A lot of good work was done by Bell Labs but it was mostly enabled by AT&Ts monopoly.

There are more rolling release distributions like tumbleweed.
I use endeavour because I like Arch but don't need to be bothered installing it the arch way more than once.
So one thing to understand is that the mint makes more than just Canadian currency. Usually things like this are sorta like advertising their abilities to any perspective customers. Of course they sell to the collectors market as well
It was a singular event that was broadcast all over North America. Following that police departments in the states started getting surplus AR-15s.
North Hollywood shoot out mostly.
The Americans decided they needed them and of course we were not far behind for reasons.
What's amusing to me is I get the first one then don't pick it back up until Harambee. I wonder if I'm suffering from mid term meme memory loss.
Napoleon dynamite quotes were definitely mixed in with the anchor man quotes where I'm from.

The main issue from what I can tell is you are trying to play older windows games which can be pretty hit or miss. More recent pc games often support the steam deck which is usually a good sign for compatibility.
Gaming on Linux has greatly improved over the last couple years (especially thanks to proton/steam deck) but if you are trying to run older games that were never designed to run to it or you want to play online games with aggressive anti-cheat it is still going to be a bit of a struggle.
I would recommend sticking to an Arch based distro like EndeavourOS (as it is similar to the SteamOS) or a Debain based distro and not swap around too much so you can get a feel for it without having a bunch of things change on you all the time like package names and the like.
All that said if your jam is older windows games and you have access to windows and are tired of messing with the OS and just want to play games just use windows, try linux another day.
Some games are trickier than others for sure. Are you using protondb as a reference?
Anno 1404 is a 15 year old game with aggressive DRM so I could tell right away that it would be one of the more tricky titles.
