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.
So I'm stuck with Ubuntu LTS on workstation from my employer and cannot do anything about it due to policies/enrollment software. I will be able to update to 24.04 soon, but it doesn't help much, as it ships Plasma 5.27 - which isn't bad, but there's a leap of features and general polish to the new Plasma that really shines on more up-to-date distros and fixes some annoyances. And honestly, LTS gets old so quickly that I have to go to external sources like Flatpak, Homebrew or Nix for fresh stuff anyway. That Ubuntu install is then thin underlying OS that stays the same for a long time. Even 22.04 is then fine for some years to come. As for the build, I used kde-builder (kdesrc-build) and jump through a big pile of hoops with dependencies. I needed to manually compile some of the required libraries that were either too old or missing. I downloaded Qt from the official website in the most recent stable version. When all is properly set and done, it works like a charm, just like on my other(archbtw) box. If there's some interest I could try and put together what I discovered in a form of something like tutorial, but that would be a lot of work for an info that's useful for just handful of people. Anyway, if you try to do it yourself, feel free to ask questions if you're stuck on something.

No higher education, no certifications, just 10 years of experience on different IT job positions, raging from junior web dev to big DevOps projects.
In my experience (I'm in EU/PL) what matters most are actual technical skills and ability to demonstrate them on interview. I changed my job like 5 times and each time I aim for slightly more advanced work and slightly better revenue.

It is actually easier and more friendly for more advanced and technical users. I switched to Arch from Ubuntu 12 years ago after dealing with yet another dependency hell and 3rd party repo breakage. I gave it a shot (which was easy as Arch had a tui installer back then) and was shocked how easy it is to get everything running the way I wanted it comparing to anything Debian-based.

Yeah, but it was so commonly used that it was also added to Wayland

Exactly, while RTFM I haven’t have a single issue (apart from the driver quirks itself) and even automated the driver patching for NvFBC. Usual error is using nvidia-dkms and not setting up proper hook to rebuild the kernel module on kernel updates.

Do other games run in general when using Vulkan API? (most modern games on Linux run with Vulkan, whether it’s Wine or native).

What are you talking about? I wish I could do stuff like installing or managing my Arch installations more often, as it’s very relaxing and satisfying. The problem is, my installs never break and there’s nothing to do about them most of the time. I work in IT however and my job throws rocks at me all the time with some bullshit corporate software and horrible Sysadm/DevOps practices and boy’oboy is it frustrating….

Wait, wasn’t Vanguard coming in form of a driver? I don’t use Windows and don’t play games with intrusive software requirements, but I believe I saw someone installing it and showing how it works on YouTube, and if I don’t misremember it, it was in fact a virtual device driver, not just a fully privileged process.

If the maximum speed pointer is too slow (which can also be subjective) for your touchpad, this might a be driver bug or some missing calibration for your variant of hardware. Reach out to libinput devs, they track issues here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/issues
For me putting the slider to 1.0 makes the touchpad so fast it’s barely usable
