Phoro... doesn't understand PCIe lanes

I'm considering upgrading to the RX 570 because it can run at PCIe 3.0 x16 but they tested it with an Intel CPU that has only 16 lanes that with along an SSD makes the GPU run at x8. So I asses that this site is prone to fanboyism in their setup decisions. Intel chips are inferior in this aspect. Now I'm left wondering if the FPs in higher quality would be better with x16.

Creating an image of my system

Sorry if this is a dumb question (still new to Linux) but is there a way I can make an image or an iso of my live system and boot it up on another system or on a virtual machine to test stuff out on. Currently running CentOS 7.

Why is itsfoss.com banned?

I've been using that to find new software for a while, and I tried to crosspost something I saw in /r/LinuxUsersGroup but apparently that domain isn't allowed on this sub.

Is it a bad source/disreputable in some way?

Let's help find a cure for covid-19!!

I came across a project called folding@home in another sub which allows you to donate your computing power to help researchers find cures for covid-19 and some other terrible illnesses. I already had debian installed on a couple old laptops so I booted them up and installed the software. I hought this would be a great place to share it because the software is already packaged for a few Linux distributions and it's a great cause, also a cool way for you to put your old computers to good use.

If you'd like to check it out, you can find the project here: https://foldingathome.org/
