I can't help on the alt-OS stuff... but to help us help you......

1. Which card is it, exactly? Brand and model, please...

its the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 Super Gaming OC 6G Graphics Card, 3X Windforce Fans, 6GB 192-bit GDDR6, Gv-N166SGAMING OC-6GD Video Card

I'm going to say I highly doubt there is a full cover block for this GPU. It's a budget GPU that doesn't use a lot of power so there isn't a need. You would need to look at a review and see if the PCB layout is 'reference' if it is, that is your best chance at getting a full cover block.

EDIT: A quick trip to google brought me a surprising amount of blocks for GTX 1660's.. apologies!!

Pop is based on Ubuntu. You will have a much easier time looking into how to OC your card on Ubuntu than on Pop because Ubuntu has a vastly larger user base. If someone is doing it on Ubuntu, try using their method on Pop.
