You can manually select different versions of proton through steam properties when launching it. You can also install patched versions via the tools Protonup and Protonplus which should be available on the Ubuntu software store

My main gripe with windows software running under wine/proton is that developers push updates that break the program on Linux, because they don't bother testing on it... Turning an hour of planned relaxation with your (previously) perfectly working game into a troubleshooting session.

There's decent models under $100 on eBay all the time if you just want a machine to experiment with, something like an x270

You don't need to know how to code, but you need to be open to learning how to use new software tools. There's a lot of great nerding out about it because of how deep you can go in the Linux rabbit hole, but it can also just work out of the box for most cookie cutter use cases (dunno what you do)

I think the 2 is on the horizon with the new Ryzen AI Max chips. The original was a great machine but whatever comes next will be a massive step forward due to upscaling and frame generation tech. TLDR: Steamdeck 1 was amazing but hold out for a bit or look into other handhelds atm.

Virtual machines are great for this, you'll get familiar with more than the desktop environments. You'll get a feeling for the different philosophies behind each distro.

Nvidia has the highest compatibility with everything except your wallet. Radeon is for gaming centric builds and while it works for most other things, it's not guaranteed. (For example, you mention blender - it was completely broken on RDNA4 cards on launch)
