Primitive ftpd from fdroid is my go-to “too lazy to configure a cloud thing” solution. It is fast and just works.

Do a pacman -Syyu before you continue.
A locked bootloader is all they need to lock you out for “a uniform experience and support across all devices”. That freedom to install whatever is not a given.
This happened to me when my language settings weren’t set. You can’t even access them in jerboa, log in with a browser and check if English is selected besides default. And whatever else you wish to see.
Would you notice if it doesn’t? The screen flickering is obvious, what if your ram and ssd flicker, too? You can tinker with that laptop and try to reduce 3.3 or 5v power rail load with kernel flags, but until someone checks those power rails electrically I wouldn’t trust that laptop to be reliable for anything but a tinkering exercise. We sadly don’t get redundant power IC’s you could switch to, but the failure is common and the involved parts cheap. I wish competent repair shops were more common.
I would conclude from this that your dc-dc converter is out of whack and only works stable enough for a small range of input voltages. This hardware issue might require a hardware fix at a repair shop :/
Make sure you have both your nvidia drivers and vulkan installed. Your errors point to a missing vulkan.
if your layout is part of the keymaps (/usr/share/kbd/keymaps depending on distro) you can load it with ‘sudo loadkeys -u awesomelayout’ and make it permanent with ‘localectl’ except on debian and heirs. There it would be ‘sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration’
I check for every game if I can get it on gog.com instead before I buy on steam, except if multiplayer would lock me into my gog friendlist. There’s some surprising stuff over there, not only ancient games.
Who knows what this new money will do with the old ad-financed entertainment parts of the internet. VR/AR could actually get a second chance and maybe “smart” devices more usefulness than spamming ads. I hope cities and municipalities discover their role as online activity promoters for offline life.
We are in a new phase and what you call stagnation is actually the maturity and stability of the internet that is spawning new services at the moment. For example:
Logistics are coming online. Loading lists, import/export paperwork, scheduling your truck unloading time from your smartphone. Lots of saas startups in that area.
Factories are coming online. Scheduling production across factories/countries on a single product level is still sci-fi, but they are working on it.
Trades are coming online. Billing software, planning, documentation. Each sector has their own ways to get accelerated and now they see value in it.
Plenty of stuff that was happening in excel sheets is replaced with a tailored web services which are content aware and allow live data entry/analysis from multiple end points.
There is so much work to be done. Universal availability and reliability of data centers, mobile networks, fibre connections were the backbone neccessary to build the next generation of services. They are in the making.

The relative performance table below the specs can help you. The cheapest you can get right now is a rx 6600 dipping below 200 $/€, but the 6600xt 6650 6700 6700xt are also viable. The 66xx range is enough for 1080p, 1440p begins with the 6700 becausa it has a 10gb vram buffer and wider pci bus.
According to your logs when installing the kernel, your nvme modules are nowhere to be found, and basic system tools are unavailable. Your core system seems severely borked… can you do a memtest (broken ram can corrupt your storage and your attemps at finding the problem) and check your smartctl --all of that ssd?
Yes. One is obviously running in a kvm of the other. Both nailed down with grsec hardening and selinux and chroot jails everywhere a noob would use a container. The main filesystem is a readonly squashfs on raid1.
Any more ideas for the most hellish linux system we can create for our enemies?
Haha, noob. My distro is the best distro and everybody should be using it because nobody has a different use case and expectation anyway. My terminal skills are unrivalled, your mouse is blocking your progress to true productive greatness. My automated installation runs faster than you can download your proprietary drivers. I use imagemagick instead of gimp for its speed and user friendliness. Vim is the only editor you ever need. Do you even internet without your own email server? I rather install rpm’s on arch than use flatpack.
//The linux endboss needs to be a meme. We could make chuck norris level jokes about him.
Lack of ads. And I mean that in a transparancy way, people are going to promote stuff (‘look at this cool project i’ve been working on’, ‘someone needs money in this crowdfunding, after i tell you this long, heartbreaking story’) it would be nice to see markings if a post has a direct benefactor and who that benefactor would be, to decide early if you want to engage.
My advice is: make your data eternal, not your distro. Your kde config and customization should work across distros (but don’t dualboot with 2 distros messing in the same /home). Don’t know about you, but I like the separated work/play dynamic I have with linux/windows so I’m waiting for bazzite to become dual bootable with linux to be my playstation. If you put your game library on it’s own partition/disk you can mount it from dualboot distros.
Every distribution is always the most stabellest, maintained piece of software on their website but fuckups happen, teams change, users get blamed for exotic circumstances tarnishing their reputation. Have a backup and use whatever feels right currently.
Pop_os is also ubuntu based btw, hate the name but maybe system76 is able to keep you safe from the snappification while you use what you are accustumed to?
