That probably depends on the country, but I don’t think you should omit learning language, even as English native, even if everyone around you speak your native one.
I've seen that several times already in Poland. Been around a guy from India who was practically monolingual English speaker (his local language is fading away, he should technically still speak it due to his grandparents, but doesn’t or speaks very little) and he straight up refused to learn Polish because he „seen no value” in it, it’s not an easy language to learn and he'd rather just put that time and effort into a MMO game. He only attended lessons to learn to pass an exam that will allow him staying in the country, with no intention to actually learn how to speak. Poles are quite often excited to speak English with somebody as everyone knows importance of it and wants to practice IRL. Everyone around him, like his gf, her family, coworkers in corpo, accept that and they all speak English well, so no obligation on his side. He only knows how to tell cashier that he'll pay with a debit card and it takes a single word. Well, that’s his choice you can say, but then it was pretty annoying at times to have him around. Imagine standing in a circle joking around and every two sentences that guy asks „What? What did he/she say?”, and someone attempts to translate it to English, but the joke doesn’t work or is not understandable even after translating because it refers to something else in the language, culture, memes, slang etc. Either learn it or expect to be disconnected and excluded at times. That’s all good to tolerate newcomers who don’t yet know much about the culture and language, but it doesn’t look very good to me if that’s a guy who lives here for 8 years and doesn’t have plans moving away anytime soon.

See that, GoG? This can be done, it doesn’t hurt and there are already tools that can be used to build it without all too much effort.

Wow, after all this they’re still in the denial stage of grief, not knowing they continue to harm themselves

Iirc, the Arch wiki says you should synchronize all packages while adding new ones, and it’s technically unsupported. It might work in some cases, but personally I didn’t have to do much to not be able to launch something because symbols missing in libraries or no such file altogether. To avoid problems it’s better to sync packages fully at least once in a while.

Pasta with sweetened milk was very common back then and we called it “milk soup”. Some loved it, some hated it, I personally loved it, imo it was better than cornflakes. 90’s was tough times though and it’s not like we had access to too many things, it’s probably different today. And pasta with fruit sauce doesn’t seem strange to me even today.

That’s the English language in a nutshell from my perspective as non-native

Heroic Games Launcher supports GoG pretty well. You can install it with Flatpak using Discover in desktop mode.
When you login to GoG and install a game, you will be able to “Add it to Steam” (top-right hamburger menu in game’s view) and it should then be available in your “Non-steam games” in gaming mode.
Other options are Bottles and Lutris

The thing with trying different distros drives me a bit nuts. If you’re getting consistently bad results across so many different ones, then you can see how distros don’t matter all that much after all. What really matters is your hw config combined with software config. Stop trying different distros expecting that some of them will maybe do something differently, stick to one and try to figure out the problem or ask for help. Only resort to other distro if you know that it will make something easier (eg provide more up to date packages).
You said what’s your hw configuration, but not much about how you handle NVIDIA drivers. By default, your GPU will run on open drivers built in Linux kernel called Nouveau, combined with OpenGL (and for your GPU that’s it for now) implemented in Mesa. This is enough for basic things to work, such as the desktop, video playback, office applications, but not necessarily games. For that you need the proprietary NVIDIA drivers. Check manual of your currently used distro for how to get those drivers in place. For your GPU even the newest drivers are available (560), so it’s good if your distro offers that. For drivers older than 555 series, use X11 session instead of Wayland.

Same as any other font. Add it to ~/.fonts or /usr/local/fonts. You might also have something like font browser already preinstalled, and usually there’s an Install button

Yes, I wanted to do that on stock Ubuntu and doing that on a side (I install it mostly just to /opt) is less invasive than replacing core system packages using packages from Neon. It’s rather not intended to use Neon repos when it’s not Neon. Besides, I wanted to spend 15h on tinkering I guess :)

I have no idea how something like that would work. I was stuck on it calling natively installed executables via dbus and with it uninstalled it wouldn’t launch. I didn’t try too deep, but I don’t think I would be perfectly happy with running everything inside Podman container and having to go outside additionally for native accees wasn’t super fun when I played with Hyprland run like that. Trying to integrate it with display manager and keep it secure wasn’t fun either.
What a vandalism, who would do that
