I feel like if I didn't game and use my computer the way I do, my Linux experience would be like most that you see on the web. "It just works!" and all of that.
The Steam Deck has had one hiccup in my two years on it, and I just put it away until the next update, and poof, all fixed! I also use Decky plugins, so that could've very well been my issue!
I definitely feel you on the backend stuff. I upgraded one time and noticed that I had to wait a few days if not a week until I could use one of my apps, Proton Mail Bridge I believe, since the window wasn't showing except for the title bar and the minimize, fullscreen, and exit buttons.
It's.. really weird how it all works until it doesn't, which isn't something I have ever experienced on Windows, though I keep in mind that this is all a community effort and the operating system really is good at its core, but I think it needs some people like me or you to bring these pain points up so they are seen and maybe even worked on.
Give me a Linux install, and I'll show you how easily a user can wreck it just trying to recreate a workflow that they have on Windows. ;P
EDIT: No, I haven't tried Nemo, but I will now that you've recommended it! Does it have split tab stuff like Dolphin? That's a feature I use every single day to easily move stuff around all of my drives and NAS. :)
