Getting Linux to work correctly the first time straight "out of the box?"
Yes.
Idk man, when i started using linux with PopOS as my first distro 5 years ago, i don't remember anything not working as it should. It wasn't until i started using arch that i had to do more things myself, which makes sense cause it's a diy distro.
When I started 9 ago I somehow managed to destroy my Debian install (specifically the Wayland session) when I tried to install Genshin Impact. Now I play happily play Genshin on my Mint. But my starting philosophy was: Better break it now before I put too much time into it.
The same with windows tho, you always have to find solutions.
I was on linux mint, kde plasma and another rather odd distro with a window manager. All worked out of the box. But i saw hell let loose with someone with cameras and just the cameras, the rest seemed fine and in working condition.
I also have always had everything just work, I don't understand how everything is always broken for everyone else. Maybe I just buy good hardware?
Depends on the distro.
False, it's also going smooth for me. The only prick is you.
