What's amusing to me is I get the first one then don't pick it back up until Harambee. I wonder if I'm suffering from mid term meme memory loss.

Napoleon dynamite quotes were definitely mixed in with the anchor man quotes where I'm from.

Is it just my hardware?

It is not your hardware

Am i using linux just wrongly for years?

Not really

Is it my fault?

Not really

The main issue from what I can tell is you are trying to play older windows games which can be pretty hit or miss. More recent pc games often support the steam deck which is usually a good sign for compatibility.

Gaming on Linux has greatly improved over the last couple years (especially thanks to proton/steam deck) but if you are trying to run older games that were never designed to run to it or you want to play online games with aggressive anti-cheat it is still going to be a bit of a struggle.

I would recommend sticking to an Arch based distro like EndeavourOS (as it is similar to the SteamOS) or a Debain based distro and not swap around too much so you can get a feel for it without having a bunch of things change on you all the time like package names and the like.

All that said if your jam is older windows games and you have access to windows and are tired of messing with the OS and just want to play games just use windows, try linux another day.

Some games are trickier than others for sure. Are you using protondb as a reference?

Anno 1404 is a 15 year old game with aggressive DRM so I could tell right away that it would be one of the more tricky titles.

It really comes down to if you are trying to use newer hardware or not. Debian based systems usually run fine out of the box on older systems.

For newer hardware your going to want new drivers and kernel versions which you get with a rolling release distro.
