It functioned smoothly on a high-end computer. It handled the majority of my Steam collection without any native Linux support.

ok so this isn't something ill be able to do instantly, but its a way I thought of solving the problem with VMs and dual boots. I love messing around with hardware. my PC is worth about £2500 at this point and I spend every penny I have on upgrading and tinkering with it. I use it both for my job and gaming. so in future when I have the money. could I make a second PC running Linux and then...im not sure what its called, but theres some kind of thing where you can send files to another PC and control that PC remotely. so, say I had an animation to render. I could make 2 files. one renders frames 1 to 100. the second does frames 101 to 200. then I send one file to the other PC so i can render both halfs at once. that way I can use my main windows PC for all my windows-only programs, and then use the other PC for Linux performance boost in blender and stuff?

I find it hard to locate the correct files and programs for this device, and even figuring out how to set them up is tricky. Everything feels overwhelming, especially since I only really grasp Linux through the desktop environment. The rest seems like a big challenge.

In theory yes. However, in Blender you can connect two PCs so they work together, turning one into a dedicated render node. This also distributes the processing load.
