Same workaround works here as with dirty frag. Just disable those kernel modules.

I would use Ubuntu LTS (free) or Redhat Enterprise Linux. If paying is not an option, some RHEL derivate would probably also work.

Care to elaborate how Ubuntu failed newest release?

Systemd has already won. So other init systems must adapt, and modify themselves to be compatible with systemd.

Here is how you can find it.

• First, in Steam, go to Settings -> Storage. There you can see the path for your library.
• Click … icon and select Browse Folder
• Open compactdata folder
• Open folder 3119540 (3119540 is Steam ID number for Scriptorium)
• Open folder pfx
• Open folder drive_c - this is emulated C drive of the game
• Most probably pictures are in users/steamuser folder somewhere

You are trying to install wrong versions of nvidia drivers and proton app.

For nvidia, use this https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-nvidia-drivers-on-ubuntu-26-04

For proton vpn, I assume you are trying to install app meant for 24.04. Do not do that, just search one for 26.04, if it is available.
