Techspot.com / the youtube channel hardware unboxed is also recommendable - consumer focus and willing to correct themselves when new data drops. The most important thing is to get your requirements right - what resolution, do you buy modern games or everything on high discount, what are you currently not happy about(need 30,50,70,100% more?), are you willing to sell your current card to offset your upgrade costs… good luck!

CES is next week, unless you get a really good deal, this is the moment to wait and see how the market will shift this year. As for your performance question, I recommend the relative performance table at the bottom of your current gpu’s page: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-rx-5700-xt.c3339

My advice is: make your data eternal, not your distro. Your kde config and customization should work across distros (but don’t dualboot with 2 distros messing in the same /home). Don’t know about you, but I like the separated work/play dynamic I have with linux/windows so I’m waiting for bazzite to become dual bootable with linux to be my playstation. If you put your game library on it’s own partition/disk you can mount it from dualboot distros.

Every distribution is always the most stabellest, maintained piece of software on their website but fuckups happen, teams change, users get blamed for exotic circumstances tarnishing their reputation. Have a backup and use whatever feels right currently.

Pop_os is also ubuntu based btw, hate the name but maybe system76 is able to keep you safe from the snappification while you use what you are accustumed to?
