Try uninstalling Steam (or keeping track of which one was already installed), and trying one of these methods. It was over a year ago I last did this, so I don't 100% remember which version I ended up using but believe it was the Flatpak version that worked best.
For graphics drivers updating, MintOS has a GUI interface for managing drivers which is actually pretty nice. Try searching for Driver Manager in your system utilities. Other than that, you can manually download official AMD drivers from them directly here. I'd recommend looking into that process for Linux a little more before going that route, as there are a few CLI commands you'll have to use.
As for updating anything, yes it will mostly be done the same way you installed in the first place if you used the CLI. Try the following:
sudo apt-get update
\
sudo apt-get upgrade
Which version of Steam did you install? I think that's a quirky one where the Flatpak version works better in some cases, but check out the native if you're already running the Flatpak version (there are pros and cons to each).
9070 XT is new enough that driver issues aren't surprising. Periodically check in for updates drivers, more than you would usually.
I recently played through Cyberpunk without any compatibility layers and it worked flawlessly, and I've played Hitman:WoA (I know a different game/version, but closest I had) using only the Proton compatibility. (It runs native, but has some menu issues.)
I bring these up because I was running into similar issues as yours at first when I switched to Linux, and it was all caused by the Steam version I had installed. I switched that, and everything else fell into place.
Best of luck!

In addition to this, non-competative online games generally are safer. Look into the individual games you're interested in, but something like WoW or FFXIV should still work fine, Last Epoch or PoE2 work.
Stuff like Lethal Company (Platinum) or Rust (Bronze) are more case by case, depending on the anticheat they use, and even then it's often a matter of whether the developers include support or not.
Space Marine 2 uses an anticheat, but they have support enabled for Linux (though they removed it in one of the patches, before reimplementing it).
(Also a slight pet peeve to OP, it's "right off the bat")

Yeah, it's hard to see the lights at all until you're up close, but the first color I can see for certain is a red light. It's obviously horrible design on the part of the city, for angle and placement of the light.
I know it's green text, but assuming they called the suicide hotline before as well they must have done their job too
They don't comment "AI slop" as a shorthand for "I'm so clever, I saw this is AI".
They comment it as explicit, negative feedback to the poster. Though you can still be annoyed by it.
"here are some ways you can verify to those doubting you, with proof, that this is a real issue you're going through"
"I can't do those things and yikes"
Did you make this post just to complain, or are you looking for a solution? And the apartment might be under your parent's name, but what's stopping you from talking to management yourself? People are legitimately trying to help you, but everything you say makes it harder and harder for people to take you seriously.
It doesn't surprise me for college level students to not know it, but for college students in a math heavy field to not know it. Both in terms of how do they pass an entrance exam for that program, as well as how does someone that is bad in a subject decide that is the career they want?
It isn't the "quality" of the piece that makes it more valuable, but the intrinsic quality of being the original. An exact, molecularly identical copy might make that messy, in that you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between them, but the true original is still the one with the value.
I was prepared for it to be lib arts or humanities, not engineering
Can you please expand on the second part? Which stores are a better alternative for that, genuinely asking? It would be silly to have an image that Costco is perfect, but they still seem like a "least bad" option that I'm not aware of many alternatives.
No job is safe from AI or robotic automation. They might not be able to do it well, but that won't stop greedy and/or cheap businesses from trying.
If you're searching online for how to fix the problem... Couldn't you also search online on how to find the crash logs? I fully get sometimes not having enough knowledge in a subject to even know where to begin searching, but "well, the first result wasn't helpful, guess I'll stop looking for an answer" and "it says to check XYZ, but I don't know what that is. Too bad I don't have a way to search for what things are" aren't exactly difficult hurtles to overcome.

Your numbers are growing! I've met one of you in the wild 10 years ago!
I 100% would not pair my phone to a public toilet just to flush it
Korean BBQ places are meant as the experience and the prep of the food beforehand. You don't just go to one because "I want some lunch", you go for the social aspect with a group, like going out to a bar vs drinking beer at home.
Now, that isn't for everyone, and I get that. But it's different than just a typical restaurante.
Something rubs the the wrong way about how the teacher presented that problem. Was the lesson supposed to be "don't believe anything unless you can verify it yourself"? In his example, he was the unreliable source. I'm assuming he was infering the paper can also be an unreliable source? I'm hoping he went into the importance of checking multiple, credible sources to get a larger picture, rather than just leaving it at "you always might be lied to". A blanket "don't trust so-called authorities for facts" is how we end up with people questioning vaccines and flat earthers turning from satire to something troubling.
