How reliable is your gpu in linux, and what are you usually using it for, if you don't mind me asking?

I'd like to add drinking to that. If your hobby is drinking, and you drink several times a week, you might have an issue.
but it’s not an ADHD “pick up every hobby” friendly one
That's true. I was in luck and there was a blacksmith in town who opens his workshop to kids on occasion or travels to job conventions and brought his tools with him. Maybe there are comparable activities/ offers near you, which I can highly recommend. Not only will you not have to worry about tools and materials, most importantly there will be a "teacher" around.
If you find something and decide to check it out, have fun! :)
Blacksmithing is one of the few hobbies that a guy probably can’t teach his girlfriend because women usually use a different technique to make up for strength differences.
Me, a woman who tried blacksmithing before: Don't use spring steel or other metals that are hard to manipulate/hammer into shape when starting off. Don't start with a sword, start with bending and twisting a nail into... whatever. If they like the hobby they'll stick to it and the muscle will build over time. And if it doesn't: power tools.
underrated comment xD
I am a Linux beginner so i could be wrong, but I believe Linux is very plug and play and has drivers already integrated. At least I don't remember downloading any when I set it up. I am personally using Linux Mint Cinnamon with a GTX 1060. In Mint there is a Driver Manager preinstalled which let's you pick a few nvidia drivers and an open source alternative, so it's very beginner friendly :)

do I have to use the onboard graphics till i get everything installed?
To that I can confidentially say no: because I have no onboard graphics and always had video output ^^
Honestly, I didn't like the portrail of Harry's and Tom's friendship either. Harry often plays second fiddle to Tom - most vividly in the holonovels. Tom is usually the main character while Harry is playing the sidekick. It never felt to me like they were seeing eye to eye.
I switched from Win10 to Mint, and am quite happy. You can get a lot of stuff done through GUI, so you can put off learning how to use the terminal a little. If you are worried about using it, I can recommend using ChatGPT. Helped me troubleshoot a lot of issues and learning a few tricks.
Not sure I'd want to experience Pon Farr first hand... so, ditch Spock, f**k Kirk, because... Kirk. And marry Bones I guess
Guess he couldn't take it with him to DS9 :(
Not keeping proper distance to the vehicle in front or behind them
