Linux Mint is perfectly fine as a first distribution, and even if changing distros happens to fix a problem, you don't know the root cause if it comes up again later. For a quick potential fix, try logging out, clicking the Cinnamon icon, then using the Wayland session to see if X11 is the issue:

Linux Mint is great way to get back into Linux because its Cinnamon desktop environment is highly familiar to Windows users while offering more customization than you would get on Windows. A "Driver Manager" app is provided to make it simple to install your NVIDIA drivers too:

It will be interesting to see how it compares to other PCs on the market when the price is announced, but I think its main advantage is the guaranteed SteamOS support (and the fact that SteamOS is installed out of the box). What's nice is if you ever feel restricted by SteamOS, you can swap it out.
