Switching operating systems

I have a Windows 11 and I would like to try (and later maybe switch to) Linux, however I'm an absolute noob and I've never done anything like this, so this feels like a bad idea. Is it easy or should I rather not do it? And if it's easy, would anyone be willing to help me with the process?

What GPU should I pick for 1440p?

Hello Reddit - Gamer from Denmark here.
This year i've been steadily upgrading my PC, and the last part that needs an upgrade is my GPU. My rig atm is: b850m aorus elite - 7800x3d \- 32gb 6000mhz - 650W PSU
and RTX 3060.
I play in 1440p, main games are WoW, Escape From Tarkov, Dota 2, CS2 - Games that I play "competitively", so graphics are always set to max FPS. Occasionally I play newer noscripts, mainly RPG/Action games, but don't care too much about ultra high graphics when playing those.

Need some advice for what to buy, - Budget is around 630 USD. Only wanna chip in more if it's really worth. Here are the prices in my country currently.
RTX 5070 TI - 851 USD brand new
RTX 5070 - 614 USD brand new (Gigabyte Windforce) // Only 2-3 used for sale atm, at around same price, but ASUS Prime brand instead.
RTX 4070 TI Super - 914 USD used
RTX 4070 Super - between 551-630 USD used
RTX 5060 TI - 441 USD brand new // no used for sale
RX 9070 XT - 772 USD brand new // only 2 used cards for sale for around 709 USD
RX 9070 - 709 USD brand new // only 1 used card for sale, same price as new. (barely used)
RX 9060 XT - 441 USD brand new // no used for sale
RX 7900 XT - around 630 USD used
RX 7900 GRE - 1x used available for 661 USD
RX 7800 XT - varies between 457 and 551 USD

Some of my thoughts/pointers

\- Would love for it to last for years to come
\- Don't care about ultra high, realistic Ray-Tracing bla bla bla new tech, I don't mind going down in texture or using upscaling settings if VRAM becomes an issue later, so I think 12gb is minimum and fine.
\- Always been Nvidia, but not afraid to go AMD.
\- Don't have any data/experience with RX 7xxx lineup, other than influencer reviews. I CBA buying something AMD, and then troubleshooting every single new game for it to work.
\- Better to buy now, because future pricing / availability seems uncertain?
\- The brand new RTX 5070 for 614 USD seems like the best buy to me - "Cheapest" 1440p card, new gen with new features, 12gb vram and brand new for no risk + warranty.

Just looking for someone to tell me yes or that i'm dumb, I keep second guessing and doubting.

Sorry for the long post, tried to make it short and concrete and more pleasant looking.
merry xmas and happy new years. :)

Pc motherboard update

Hey guys I have an issue and need help.

I have bought a new cpu, Intel i5 14600k to replace my i3 12100.

I am planning on updating my BIOS but the file in my usb doesn’t show during the flash mode.

I have tried different USBs so far no luck and don’t know where to go about now.

Btw my motherboard is a MSI PRO B760M-P.

Does anyone have a fix please?

Thank you
