This is a great response, would heed its points especially the yaml files.

Hello new Linux user! So yes, your correct when installing apps on Linux sometimes you might need to do it via command line other times you’ll get a nice install file you can double click. It’s really down too the software manufacturers on how they choose to package it.
In general with Linux you’ll find there’s still a lot of command line usage compared to Windows or osx. On those platforms for most users they would barely touch a terminal except in some kind of bug fixing emergency.
Some distros come with their own app store built in (like the windows or osx app store) and allow you to install a bunch of apps via the gui.
What version of Linux did you go for out of interest? Some are much more beginner and use friendly than others.
Peglin is very good
Nah you’re thinking of printers, they come from the depths of hell, 9th or 10th ring at guess. Bluetooth is an amateur by comparison.
I was in a similar boat to you, but then I installed pop and just gave it a go. Stuck it on a separate hd for now but with everything setup and working I’m very happy with it.
Started dual booting Pop a few weeks ago, kept Windows for gaming for the same concern, but if you’ve got the major of your games in stream, Proton really is amazing. Had 0 issues with any game so far.
Check out Protondb and see if your current games are supported or not.
Once I’m 100% comfortable with Linux again I’ll probably bin of windows forever.
I already had a Windows install so letting Windows manage the bootloader seemed easier as I know it can cause issues if it thinks it’s not the OS as others have said.
I’m on a 3060 on popOS and I’ve literally had one driver issue I had to rollback in the year I’ve been daily driving it.
