My GPU is RTX 3050 Ti Laptop. When I look at the source values, I see that 4GB/2.7GB of VRAM is used. Why was mine throttled when the GPUs used in the tutorial videos were running at full VRAM capacity?
My VRAM is not 100% used.

Windows reserves some of the GPU's vram for itself. This is what you're seeing here. Even Linux reserves some for itself (though far less) if you've got a screen hooked to it.

Re: My VRAM is not 100% used.
Even though my screen is connected to Intel UHD, will it still reserve it for itself? And What Linux distributor would you recommend to me?

I prefer Ubuntu, and if you're looking to squeeze everything from your GPU xfce is a good option, so you may want to check out xubuntu.
