Sounds like a skill issue. Just don’t die and you won’t die.

I want a new PC in the foreseeable future, so here I am asking for advice

Here's some basic info about my current build
-Processor: i7-7700
-RAM: 32 GB DDR4 (originally they were 16GB, but one module died and I had to buy new ram modules)
-Graphic Card: RTX 3060 (originally it was the GTX 1060 3GB but it died too)
-Motherboard: Asus Z270H
-Case: Zalman Z11 plus. I hate it, it's ugly, I did not chose it (they didn't had in stock the one I bought and gave me that one instead) and cleaning it is a pain in the ass

I'm planning in changing teams, leaving Nvidia, Intel and Windows behind for AMD and Linux

I can't afford a high end PC, but it will be a gaming PC, so let's stay in the middle (more or less in line of what my current build was 6-7 years ago)

The thing is Idk much about AMD (I've been inside the Nvidia bubble for too long), are they going to launch new hardware (procesors and graphic cards) soon? should I wait? will the wait be worth? (yeah, sorry. those are the eternal questions, I know never is the right moment to upgrade)

I DON'T have any interest in most AAA graphic intensive games (like GTA VI) there are some exceptions, (like the next Monster Hunter) but I rarelly play AAA games (In general I'm more into a A or AA games) so here it is possible to cut some corners a little

Ok, those questions were a little bit generic and I can investigate on my own, you can ignore them, but I have some questions a little bit more specific

I have a PCIe 3.0 NVME M.2 SSD and a Samsumg EVO 870 EVO (Sata 2.5'') I'll like to reuse in the new build. would it be possible? are new motherboads (with PCIe 5 or 6) backwards compatible? (asking about the M.2 SSD that uses PCIe 3.0 mainly, the other one is a normal Sata SSD) I plan to buy a newer (and faster) M.2 SSD too, but the extra storage is always welcome even if it's slower

About the case I just want a simple case, easy to clean and as silent as possible (so the bigger the fans the better) with plenty of room inside so it's easy to work with it when I need to do some maintenance like cleaning or replacing something, I don't need RGB nor a glass window nor all the fancy stuff so what do you recommend?

Another dilemma I have is the screen, it's so old it it only has a DVI port!! (SyncMaster BX2335) but still works, is full HD and its size is 23'' I don't have room for a much bigger screen so idk if 1440p or 4k screens are worth, tbh.

Given that you’re on a budget I would seriously consider keeping that 3060 for the moment. You can plan on a case and power supply upgrade that would handle a more powerful card sometime in the future.

For a CPU I would take a look at the AMD Ryzen 7800X3D. The 3D cache tech from AMD is pretty huge for gaming performance.

Witcher 3 is probably up your alley.

City improves on a lot of the batman mechanics and the variety of enemies goes up. I think it’s the better of the two.

However, it is a very different game, moving from a metroidvania inspired small locale to a big open world. If you don’t like traversing/exploring open worlds you might find it to be a downgrade. If you do, it’s a blast and moving around the city is an absolute joy.

I put a decent amount of time into shadow of mordor but didn’t finish the story. The combat is fun and dynamic, there’s lots of vertical traversal, assaulting strongholds is pretty cool. The nemesis system is silly but fun, it adds a lot of personality.

Denuvo is a very complex anti piracy system for games that is pretty controversial. There’s a lot of evidence that it affects performance and it forces games that wouldn’t otherwise need Internet to be activated online regularly.

It’s the kind of thing that a reviewer would mention and that some people would use in their buying decisions. Sneaking it in after launch is going to make some people pretty mad and I’d feel used as a reviewer.

I think it implies the company is continuing on but that job is no longer a position at the company. Redundant or unnecessary as opposed to a position that they intend to fill again, as you would with a firing.

Lay off is weirder imo.

We will make sure that you can stay on the terms applicable for the version of Unity editor you are using – as long as you keep using that version.

They did that the last time they had backlash too and then quietly removed it a few years later. How on earth do they think that’s something anyone will trust.

Yikes

Seems like unity owns an ad service provider and is now offering to waive this new fee if you use it instead of its more popular competitor.

The article implies that this is the entire reason behind the new fee, but seems like it’s just a guess.

Breath of the Wild. I got interested in the lead up to to Tears of the Kingdom coming out. Finished it the day before. Still haven't started tears though...
