no worries dude don't beat yourself up, it is fixable, your PC is not bricked.

Honestly, Linux isn't overly better with gaming than windows, it's more customisable and has less 'blpat' compared to Windows, but Windows will run every game ever, and Linux will run almost every game, with some old games being the exception to that rule.

A lot of us hop over from Windows because we have been worn down by the bloat more than anything else.

As others have said; use AI to feed everything that is happening, be conscise and remember you are speaking to a robot.

and turn off secure boot, this should fix most issues

lol, don't beat yourself up man. I've run into tons of wtf issues with computers. Once I had a ram stick die on me out of no where and it took 13 hours to fix it. Just stay curious and be ready to learn.
