People like you should be in leadership positions. The landscape rewards quick solutions, and quick solutions are rarely good solutions. “Whatever works” might still be a bad solution, just look at electron and that entire ecosystem.

General advice when it comes to software is to just start. There are always different paths, depending on what type of programmer you are. My opiniom: choose simple, not easy.

Proton is most certainly a mission critical Valve product. But, yeah, use whatever. I swear by Fedora.
