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

Desktop Lagging While Gaming
Hi all, my husband is an avid gamer and just got a new PC. Since I didn't have one, I took over his old PC - it's about a decade old now. I have been playing some video games on it with very low requirements (think cozy games with low CPU usage). They were working great until my kid kept force shutting down the computer, and one time, when I turned it back on, none of my games would run smoothly, with graphics super laggy. Videos like YouTube run fine and everything else seems to be running the same as always. I know how old the computer is and my expectations are relatively low, but I thought I would ask here because gaming seems to be the only thing I can't do.
I mainly am trying to be able to play modest games again (I'm hardly trying to play Rust or RDR2, just smaller games like Stardew Valley or Two Point games). My PC uses ethernet direct connection, not wifi, and everything was fine until a few weeks ago. My RAM usage seems a little high (around 45%) but I haven't done anything different, and that doesn't seem horrible or anything.
If anyone thinks I should cross post this elsewhere, please let me know!
Since having these issues, I have tried:
\-Defragging
\-Updating driver
\-Cleaning up PC storage
\-Checking CPU usage, especially while playing said games (stays pretty low)
\-Uninstalling and reinstalling Steam and specific games
\-Scanning for malware, trojans, etc.
\-Memory diagnostics, etc.
Some specs on my PC:
\-NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB Graphics
\-16 GB RAM
\-315 GB/1 TB storage used
\-INTEL Core i7 7700 CPU @ 4.2 GHz Processor
\-Windows 10 OS
