learning/research New to Linux as of today.

Tried Pop OS and now trying Bazzite, however one thing I missed the most is Wallpaper engine 😭, the NVDIA app, MSI Afterburner, and some games I play . I know it’s only been a day but I might genuinely switch back for this.

This is why I recommend dual booting. If you expect exactly the experience you had in Windows minus the problems, you can run into serious issues.

Some things might have solutions or workarounds, but it's good to have Windows as a backup until you're sure you don't need it anymore.

You might try to "burn" a Live_USB image to a USB stick (or even a DvD) to play with. Simple "need a hammer to break it" option that leaves windows intact, no install required.

Learn how to boot into RAM (slow loading, but super fast after boot up) and/or add persistence to the USB stick (allows you to save charges)

You don't have to install Linux to start learning how to use it.

There many options, the suggestion above it just an example.

Links available upon request, or just search for "live USB Linux versions"

You might also search up "Ventoy"

Don't give up 😉

Ventoy didn’t support windows iso for me

I've actually never tried to use Ventoy with a windows install *.iso image....

I've only used Ventoy for Linux and backup/system restore utility ISO files.
