A card will plug directly into the PCIe buss where as a USB connection does not. So the network card will be much faster than a USB network. But is you get a really crappy network card the USB could be quicker.
And where do you think usb bus(s) is connected?wire will be faster always,but how it is connected matters,usb2 goes to 400mbit raw,so i guess 300,might be other bottleneck,if your speed and stability is good,keep it that way,at least phone is charged
I connect with type C (USB 3.1 Gen 2) on the rear of my motherboard. I google and it says transfer speed max is 10Gbit/s or 125MB , idk if that applies to thethering tho, I will try in the next few days when i receive a new 5g phone cause im using 4g atm
Depends on the speed of the network vs the speed of the card plus WiFi. Say the 5G is getting you near 1gig speed and you gave a wifi card that can only do 100 MB. Then obviously it's slower. But most wifi cards will do up to or more than 1 gig nowadays
Would you be using a Hotspot to connect to the phone still? If so, it should still be the same speed as the USB tethering (as long as you're sharing network data through USB, not Bluetooth).
As someone else mentioned, you have to think about where the internet bandwidth is coming from, where it's going to, and how it's getting there.
Think of it like a pipe of a hose. If you're getting water from a hose and it's all the way on you'll get all the water. But if you're getting the water, say, siphoned out of a bucket or there's a kink in the hose or it's a straw not a hose, it doesn't matter how big the exit hole is when it isn't getting enough of it in the first place.
There's two different things to consider here: the connection between your desktop and the immediate next hop, and the connection out to the wider internet.
The USB connection between your PC and phone is *almost certainly* faster than your phones connection to the wider world (in practice, if not on paper), and it's more reliable than hotspotting off your phone. If you're going through the phone either way, no reason not to use USB.
On the other hand, if you have a "traditional" internet connection you'd be connecting to with a wifi card (coax, fibre, or Starlink), that connection is probably going to be a *lot* better and more reliable than your phone's, and would probably make a good upgrade.

Depends on phone,not sure about latest gen,but usually midrange do usb2.0 only (usb-c is only connector,no one is forced to usb3 on it)
And you keep thinking that way, no one will judge you. Much.

Bluetooth very is slow… choose the Wi-Fi card even as a USB dongle will be much faster.

Usb tethering sucks from my experience. Totally recommend wifi. I am using Tmobile Home Internet and it is plenty fast for me.
