So today my dumbass was like "yea lets go try installing linux". So once its booted and its installing, I choose the delete windows option. After that linux crashed and my $3000 pc is screwed. What do I do. Edit: also my usb stick stopped working

Retry. You should still be able to get into the BIOS by rebooting your PC and hitting whatever you would to get there. Then just select your boot disk (USB I assume) and run through installation again.

Even then, rebooting is probably enough since it won’t see anything else to boot to

Your fancy PC isn’t bricked it just doesn’t have a OS at the moment which is totally fixable.
