I just sold my 3070 and bought a 7800XT for the same reasons.

I don't see anything wrong with it. What's the issue?
I'm going to up vote and ruin this, but document for posterity.
Pre hard mode is pretty basic today, but was pretty neat back when it came out.
Post hard mode is a lot more interesting. I'd say don't give up on it until you get there.
I have a very similar story, only I went with Bazzite, and now Aurora.
I was using 11 and honestly didn't hate it, but I could see the writing on the wall. The Steam Deck showed me what I could do with Linux, do I just did it.
I had dabbled with Ubuntu desktop in the past, but it was the Steam Deck with KDE that really sold me on Linux for the desktop.
I do not like GNOME. KDE is great, though.
With atomic, unstable updates aren't a problem. You can just run back to previous.
Atomic distros are so cool like that.
I'm contractually obligated to harass you about that key rotation slip up.
Look at Bluefin or Aurora. They are also made by Universal Blue and have developer versions that come with Tailscale VPN. They're built on Fedora Silverblue just like Bazzite. I personally just moved to Bazzite two weeks ago, and then switched to Aurora.
No, because it's a software KVM and it needs to be able to read, mirror, and suppress mouse and keyboard actions.
Setting up is stupid easy. What makes immutable distros potentially difficult is installing software. Anything packaged as a flatpak is stupid easy. Beyond that it can get complicated. But it's not bad in general.
Having just switched to Linux with Bazzite two weeks ago, my biggest issues have come from Wayland support. And that's really just because I have a specific piece of software I need that doesn't support Wayland. And that's a bit of an edge case and the result is more annoyance than show stopper.
And then when to do learn it, it pisses you off when something doesn't have a freely available image.
