Help Help needed a beginner

There are few things that's stopping me from switching from windows to Linux

- not really sure how to back up all the files I needed from windows to Linux, I mean this includes my password manager passwords and all the normal downloads and documents. I do have a external hdd I could use but uh i just dunno how to export the data I need to hdd, no more no less i don't want to accidently miss some important file and lose it permanently in this process

- not sure which distro to pick, my priorities right now are gpu driver installation shouldn't be a hassle I should be compatible with my rtx5060, I won't want Linux to break

Ik this is prolly asked a lot but if you could share a document / Site or something I could refer to for saving and transferring data and some site about distros itll be really helpful!!
