With respect, you can screw up Windows by doing things in a non-standard way too. That's not the fault of the OS.
Don't use snaps.
Seriously.
Flatpaks are nice though
Of the options... Flatpaks are, IMO, the best.
I still avoid them whenever humanly possible.
Well, best practice in atomic distros is to rpm-ostree as minimally as possible in most cases, and then flatpak everything else. It helps a lot with modularity.
Just to mention also, I've been running Debian for much longer than I care to think about (since my teen years, I'm now in my 40s), with config file requirements that make arch look like lazy mode by comparison.
If you have to use something, flatpak wins, but personally I'd lean away from any of it as much as possible. The Debian stable repos are stable, so what's in there will work. Add flatpak to KDE Discover by installing plasma-discover-backend-flatpak to get that option in there.
But snaps should be strictly off limits. For everyone, tbh.
Are you one of the like dozen people that run Debian Unstable?
... Yes. But only on one machine.
Mostly its stable (all of my servers, an editing machine, etc) but I'll do silly things when I need to try something, like image a drive, change the sources to testing/unstable, do what I need to do to test, then reimage.
And recently started running EndeavourOS then Arch because I honestly spend too much time in Debian and felt like poking around at other solutions again, which I do every several years or so.
Thank you for your service and dedication to the craft.
This was all good except I'd be remiss to not point out that millions of pancakes wouldn't slow a cargo train at all.
Proceed.

Debian tends to require a lot of tweaking to get it to work well with more modern things. I've never gotten video and audio hardware to work out of the box to my satisfaction, for example. Ubuntu is definitely easier to use out of the box. But I also don't like the way Canonical has been taking it lately. And since I've been using CENTOS for servers for many, many years and more recently Rocky Linux, I decided to give Fedora another try after a failed attempt like a decade ago (I think the version at the time was Verne).
Combined with Plasma as a front end, Fedora is awesome. Some things aren't there that I'd prefer and flatpacks and snaps always have minor, annoying issues, but for the most part it does everything I need and even supports my fairly new laptop with a touchscreen and pretty modern hardware without any tweaking.
Give Fedora Kinoite a shot. Atomic distros are the shit. If you fuck it up, you literally just reboot, roll back, and you are up and running again. I’m finally starting the process of migrating off of windows and onto Bazzite for my desktop (because it doubles as my gaming machine), but I’ve been using Kinoite on my personal dev laptop for a while now and it’s awesome! It’s a bit of a paradigm shift from a traditional distro, but it’s really not that hard to figure out and adjust to.
Am not gonna take away bootloader customization and going flatpack first hell nah dunno why people are like "ItS HaRd tO BrEaK ThE oS"
Because some people like having a daily driver that just works, period. I can spin up a container or VM (or baremetal install) on one of my other boxes if I want to do some sort of work that needs it, but for the use cases of human:homelab interface and gaming box, I like that stability and recoverability are first-order concerns. I can generally figure out what else is going on as long as I have a reliable entry point.
Sure
I would use Linux more if:
1: I could host my desktop with Parsec (client support exists, but not host support).
2: Sunshine/Moonlight actually worked, as an alternative. It is broken and janky and isn't a substitute. I've tried. A lot.
3: I could wirelessly link my Quest 2. VR support is a hot mess and I'm still waiting for a solution to wirelessly link my Quest 2 in linux that actually works and doesn't require a month of programming a solution myself.
4: Better compatibility with some stuff. Proton gaming works most of the time, but not for the titles I play.
I started using linux by setting up a dual boot: using windows only for things I couldn't do at the time on linux. That were gaming and some apps only supported by windows After usig it for some time I now have everything on linux (or an alternative) and uninstalled windows. Still in the process of figuring out some very specific stuff like you with your Quest, but someday I just couldn't have it with windows anymore.
There are a lot of ressources online and some distros are really great for gamers/ newcomers. Just give it a try and some time. You will have to learn some things like you had to with first using windows.
Mind, I have my system dual booted, and I manage Linux servers on other pcs
As a linux user myself I don't care about Adobe or Microsoft hate how someone brings those apps I DONT USE THEM
