Why does this look and sound like the inspirational scene of a Mockumentary?

The GPL states that its text must not be modified. I take this to mean (though I’m no lawboy), that if you wanted to have a license with the same terms plus some changes (the butthole rule), you would have to rewrite the whole thing. It would not nearly be a “GPL license”.

This is very important nitpicking I’m doing here, okay?

Is your HDD NTFS? That can sometimes be an issue, I think.

… Jack is a nickname for John?

My brother gave me his alt account because it had TF2 premium. Still using that one!

If you have the space (on a different drive, preferably) you could use Timeshift to create regular snapshots of (parts of) your system. You can restore deleted files like this from even months ago, if you configure it like that.

The first snapshot takes up as much space as all the files you want to save, but every following one only uses as much disk space as the new/changed files since the last snapshot.

Proton can run any Windows-only game on steam, you just have to enable it in the settings. The ones for which you didn’t have to enable this either have a native linux version, or are officially supported in Proton, and should run very well. The other games may have more issues, but even those might work excellently out of the box.

I prefer a distro with a nice name

That’s honestly a really good distro picking strategy for someone just moving to Linux.

Ah! I would have guessed it could handle that too, with the platform being so popular.

If I absolutely had to watch a tiktok video, I would try giving the link to yt-dlp. That can probably download it.

I don’t think this community will be of much help with a Segmentation Fault.

Ideally you would report this along with a minimal project where it happens. In your case, since you don’t really know how it started, stripping back as much as you can from your project and uploading that would probably be helpful for the devs.

In the report you should be very clear which version you were using when it happened the first time (4.3 dev6?), and which other version also keeps crashing after this (4.2.2?).

In C an assignment is an expression where the value is the new value of what was being assigned to.

In a = b = 1, both a and b will be 1.

a = *(p = p + 1)

is the same as

p += 1
a = *p

, so ++p.

Perhaps *(p += 1) will be to your liking?

I took it as a chance to weed them out. I went through each one manually and made a choice whether to keep it. Went from ~260 to 130.

I also unsubbed from each so as to make yt unusable, so I wouldn’t be tempted to go there, unless specifically looking for something.

It’s ice cream. Apparently having the three flavours like this is called “Neapolitan ice cream”.
