I'd recommend finding some FOSS projects to contribute to so that you can stay sharp and also add stuff to your resume. Plenty out there that needs worked on, and not all of it can be done by people working full time at another job.

What's your degree in?
One of my friends and I end up troubleshooting for an hour before we can actually start playing games. Every single time. Linux just doesn't want us to play games together, I guess.
I mean, you could probably put a short version of your title like "How Polluted Are Our Waterways", but you should have a tighter title that's not a question like "Our Polluted Waterways and the Threat They Pose".
He tripped in front of the chickens while gathering their eggs, destroying all their hard work, and now they look at him in disgust and disappointment.
And that's why you never keep all your eggs in one basket.
If they are 12 hour shifts, so that the people can head home at 5 with everyone else. If they are 8 hour shifts, usually for the later shifts to have an okay life balance: 5-2 for day shift, 2-11 for second shift, and a third shift option that overlaps.
Even though I'm a night person, 5 is a common time to wake up for enough people who presumably want to be productive, and the benefit of getting off work before the school day ends has to be enticing. And on the second shift side of things, they get to have lunch with loved ones before going to work, and 11 is early enough that they could potentially go out for drinks or other fun before bed.
It's also nice that for either shift, the person has time to run errands at a time when most stores are open and activity levels are low.
Not quite "time loop", but related: Return of the Obra Dinn. I need the developer to make another game with exactly the same mechanics.
There are a lot of interesting things in your post.
First, League typically doesn't work well on Linux because Riot doesn't care about Linux users. If League is going to be a deal breaker, I'd recommend getting a dedicated Windows system for the best time.
Second, your CPU has a known hardware bug with C-states. If you've been noticing your computer freeze often under Linux, disable C-states in your BIOS.
Third, are the games you're trying to launch purchased through Steam, purchased through a different store, or pirated?
Are you able to play any of your games, or is it just these few that have been giving you trouble? If it's every game, you may not have the nvidia driver or vulkan installed. Just to be sure, you can try running nvidia-smi in a terminal, which will show you which driver the system is using. If you are unable to run the command at all, you'll definitely need to install the nvidia driver
I just gave it a review. They don't seem to read the reviews, but maybe someone else will see it and agree.
I have a car, but I don't want to. My work or any interesting shopping is about 6 miles away, mostly uphill on a highway in a very desert-like area so I couldn't comfortably bike, and the public transportation is practically nonexistent (and was recently cut to not run on the weekend at all).
I do take my bike most weekends when I can, though. It's been a great experience.
I wish someone would send me $5 out of pity for my non-malware code.
Strong Towns and Not Just Bikes both go over the math more in other articles/videos, but I'll try to provide a decent summary.
Basically, the cost to maintain the roads and infrastructure in a city are paid for by everyone in the area, and because cities are usually smaller and mixed-use, you have several homes and businesses chipping in to pay the same mile of asphalt and water/sewer.
When you get to the suburbs, even though they pay more in taxes because they're larger and newer, they're also more spread out, often with a large highway out to them. They require this dedicated infrastructure line, and still require fire/police/garbage services, which requires more staffing, more buildings, and more trucks.
Imagine you're playing two games of Cities Skylines.
In the first game, you have small, 2-lane roads, your houses and apartment buildings are small, one-four block sizes, you have a corner store every other street, and because everything is within 5 blocks, people walk to their destination. You really only need one fire station, one police station, and a dump.
In the second game, you have a highway to a residential-only area. All your residences are 6 blocks big and in cul-de-sacs. You'd likely have to have one police/fire stations on one side of the suburb and one on the other in order to get full coverage. They'd require their own garbage dump in order to get the best service, and you'd have to run sewer/water lines out to them.
Which of these cities do you think would do better financially?
