"Veteran" Linux user here - Need help in choosing a distro?
First, I'd recommend you use this tool. It helped me find Void Linux, which I love to bits.

Help a noob, please?
If you want rock solid stability for everyday use and gaming, similar to Windows, and don't need cutting edge/bleeding edge software, then Linux Mint Cinnamon is probably the best choice. Even though I say that Mint/Cinnamon is the best choice based on the above requirements, I'm bias toward KDE which is even closer to Windows. If you want to check out a desktop environment that is closer to the Mac OS X UI then check out Pop_OS which has the Cosmic DE. It is a custom DE that is similar to Gnome. Gnome (and Cosmic) borrow ideas from Mac OS X UI and have their own unique features apart from OS X. In addition to Distowatch.com take a look at https://distrochooser.de/

Amazon Prime Video Will Start Showing Ads on January 29
You can get Lutris: It's an open source launcher that you login into with GOG account and it will download the games and wrap them with Wine, similar to Steam.

Making the switch - what are the gaps?
For "normal" games you could look yourself using ProtonDB regarding every game released on Steam and AreWeAntiCheatYet for most multiplayer games. If a game isn't available on Steam you have three possibilities. First if it's available on GOG, Epic Games or Amazon Gaming, you could use the Heroic Games Launcher. Second you could try to run the launchers through Steam itself using once again Proton. Third you could try installing it with a script or tutorial in Lutris or Bottles.

WoW Season of Discovery freezes on every honorable kill!
Can I suggest you head over to the lutris.net site and follow the link the lutris discord - with what you are describing, it would take me 20 minutes to get the base battle.net working so you can see what is causing your issue or 3 days back and forwards here. As a hint, your wine version has known issues, and unless you manually installed the lutris 0.5.14 from the git page in Mint, or are running flatpak, you have other issues related to that

Lutris how to make Nvidia primary Gpu
Hmmm I remember there was some confusion in Lutris around this, like https://github.com/lutris/lutris/issues/4237 , and I had to do some workaround. But I can't check what exactly right now...

Windows 11 is last in gaming performance tests against 3 Linux gaming distros
As a data point, you can run a fair number of Windows games under Proton by using Lutris instead of Steam:
* https://lutris.net
* https://github.com/lutris/lutris
It's an OSS game launcher that takes the place of Steam, and you can set things up to run locally so you don't even need an account on their system (lutris.net).
