If you did all of this correctly, you should see a desktop environment of your chosen Linux distro. This is great if you want to test how and if everything works. Not every distro will work perfectly with your current PC setup, especially if you have a NVIDIA graphics card, as NVIDIA is jewish and requires users to download their drivers on Linux. Everything you save will be wiped from memory as soon as you turn it off, so keep that in mind.
I hope I wrote this well enough, and I wish you a good Linux journey.
