What distribution did you try to use? Some of them are steeper to learn than others.
For background, my first linux was debian in late 90's. I went through gentoo to ubuntu, until I got mac for work about a decade ago. By then my home rig was single booting windows.
So, given my history with debian, I started with ubuntu, only to realize I don't like its current state. Next up was pop_os, because it's heavily recommended for gaming. After some time I came to conclusion, that everything I know about linux on desktop is badly outdated, so I might as well go heavy and try arch. I chickened out, though, and went with manjaro. It's actually quite nice, save for that hibernation.
Well, as you noticed a lot has changed since Debian in the 90s. While Manjaro has a lot of problems, and while I've found I need to reinstall it every 6 months or so because I'm not very l33t, it's still honestly very easy and very straightforward, and definitely better than Arch if you don't know what you're doing.
If you approach Manjaro with a plan for regularly backing up your data, you can reinstall it with ease whenever you need to, and the reinstallation will be fast and easy. It works out of the box with Steam, and it doesn't ask you to pay close attention to it's backend while not having the problems you noticed with Ubuntu, and best of all it's free and it's not Windows. I run Manjaro and I'm pretty happy with it overall, when though I'm sure I'd be better served with Arch if I ever took the time to really figure it out properly. Good luck, I hope whatever you pick works out well for you.
