Are you learning japanese? You might enjoy trying. Duolingo has a free tier which is annoying but the annual sub is reasonable (c. £60) if you look for offers.
Firefox will offer translations. On both sides.
Given the choice between not knowing an answer and having to translate it (using a built-in translator) I’d prefer the answer, but you could always use the translator for them even if the output is garbage-Japanese.
Taking offence is a choice.
Does one good to be challenged (at least) occasionally.
I learned something new.

Good on you.

I stand corrected. Thanks for the heads up… Really wasn’t expecting that.
Apologies to OP. I don’t know how to reference users: marauding_gibberish142@lemmybdzero
No. No-one has ever tried installing Linux on a powerful computer. All the supercomputers run Windows - the attempt at Hackintosh didn’t take - and are having a tough time meeting the TPM criteria for Win11.
You will be the very first. The world is counting on you.
In terms of physical connections you’ve said that the card needs the x4. Not sure what there is to say further.
Can’t get a 30 cm ruler into a 15 cm pencil case.
Maybe I’ve totally misunderstood your post.
I don’t think you do.
A x1 will fit in a x4 but not the other way around.
For many years I installed Fedora from scratch (almost as if my PC was a Linux container and then added a kernel setup) to be exactly as I wanted it no cruft, no bloat. I did that with other distros as well, Debian didn’t recommend SELinux.
Last year I installed it from scratch using the installer and that included SELinux. With changes in SELinux policy, I found an installed flatpak which successive iterations didn’t like SELinux or tried to operate outside it. Fixing it was easy but I didn’t do so until I understood why it was violating.
I had unknowingly subscribed to the FUD about SELinux, I doesn’t get in my way. Maybe I’m not as elite as I thought I was!
I think you’re starting too big, to use your phrase.
Get used to the basics first: what’s different (to whatever you’re running now), what’s the same. They Linux distributions almost all have GUIs (KDE, GNOME are the main ones but there are many others).
Run a live USB version from a usb stick to get used to it until you have the confidence to install it on an old pc. Personally I do not recommend dual booting; data gets lost that way. Install it on an old pc and learn how to restore your backups to a Linux filesystem (not the fs of what you’re used to on Linux platform). I write that because you said that want to end up with a Linux server.
Choose one of the top few from distrowatch.com/
Your aim is to understand what’s going on under neither the GUI; how permissions work.
I started by installing a VoIP product into a VM on Windows 2000, but there are better ways now.
Good luck. You shouldn’t find it that difficult.
Thank-you for your eloquence and loquacious reply.
Please don’t desecrate my Linux with (what I assume is) Windows talk.
Bleugh! I need a shower!

Ethics. Police.
In the same post.
I’m not police, but I am in the legal industry. Ethics is talked about a lot. Not seen much.
I think most phones have recording apps.
Yes; the command prefix that you’re looking for is
shutdown now ; (followed by your sudo command if you wish)
It will provide the appropriate delay before using the root command via sudo or having logged again as root (sigh)!
I have always hated ‘find’ with the non-standard options. Basic RegEx is easy to use and fd became a firm favourite from the off.
An undervalued post.
I don’t study Japanese. I suggested the most popular app.
