I was in the middle of a gaming session on my Ubuntu Linux setup when suddenly my WiFi disconnected. I tried reconnecting, but that failed, so I decided to reboot my computer. Now, I've noticed that my monitor's refresh rate is stuck at 60Hz, and my USB WiFi adapter isn't functioning properly. I'm at a loss for what to do next!

It sounds like you might be dealing with a driver issue, especially if it happened right after you were gaming. Sometimes, when automatic updates are running in the background, it can really mess things up. I recommend running `sudo dpkg --configure -a` in your terminal to see if that helps fix your issues. If that doesn’t work, check out this guide on fixing broken packages in Ubuntu: https://phoenixnap.com/kb/ubuntu-fix-broken-packages. Just make sure you have some sort of internet connection available, like a wired one, to get things sorted.
I also remember updating my system just before I started gaming, using `sudo apt update`, so that might have something to do with it.
I attempted to connect my phone via a wired connection, but it didn't work out. It's getting late here, so I’ll tackle this tomorrow. Thanks for the advice!
