Make sure your laptop bios allows iommu to be enabled. This is the only way I know to pass your GPU directly to a VM. And even this is still pretty fiddly.
Don't dismiss the steam/proton rec. Or dual boot.

Preach!
Glad I'm not the only one.
I build from ewaste and keep things deliciously trashy looking.
I've been wanting to get matrix up for my family and friends to chat with my 6 year old on her tablet. I found nextcloud talk to do all the things I wanted with none of the hassle. My daughter is a ridiculous texter.

I've been using the original m1 running a lineage OS based android TV for a couple years. It's perfect. I added a nvme drive for a "DVR" in tivimate, but we rarely use it. I use a cheapo 2.4ghz remote from Amazon.
Your approach works too. Something like CasaOS answers OP's question directly. I was thinking about how I started on this journey. I wanted to play with enterprise level tools at home on repurposed e-waste. So I started with proxmox. But I also came to the table with a couple decades of Linux experience under my belt.
Those scripts make it so easy. You can paste a command, accept defaults, watch some text scroll by and finish with instructions on how to access the tool you just installed.
My homelab is low power as well. I'm currently running zero VMs. Everything is done with LXCs. You can run a pi hole on 512 MB RAM.
Step 1: Install proxmox
Step 2: run the post install script here, disable anything enterprise, test or related to high availability.
Step 3: check out the other scripts on the link. I suggest starting with a pi hole and experimenting from there.
I've been daily driving Linux since the early 00s and docker confounds me too, especially the networking. I'm not familiar with bottles. I just play all my games on steam and it's seamless.
Sorry, the sort of individualism you speak of only applies to opting out of vaccines and praying to jeebus in the classroom.

I've been on a retro kick. Recently I've been messing with a Pentium 233 MMX. I burned a tinycore Linux CD a couple days ago so I could make this:
