There's a lot of different janky distros out there, many poorly maintained. It's arguably a positive but you will get issues with many of them.

The transition to using the command line/terminal for doing tasks is a real hurdle with linux even with the good GUI for many applications

That sounds more like hardware failure. I don't know how PopOS could magically brick your GPU.
