what youre saying is important and true in certain cases, yes. In mine it took me 2 months to adapt my brain and tweak linux to the point it is now working like a well oiled machine.
however my needs were very explicit being that i was building a simulation machine (not AI) i even had it planned down to hardware spec regarding cores, chips and ram for a very specific task outside average gamer use.
your average user might just need a basic game box (they could even just reuse a crap box and itll run. thats the beauty of linux. ) and throw some mint on it which does work pretty much out of the box and with steam you might need some light configuring.
EG: just editing the launch command in general tab when you right click the game:
SteamDeck=1 %command%
or install gamemode and then: gamemoderun %command%
for some games especially old ones you might need to just swap around which proton you use(in compatability menu)
most games dont need any of this as the proton GE updates to iron out all the compatibilty.
