I guess this (and the data being from a very selected part of population ie. test takers) would explain my experiences with Ruhrpott folks of around 30 to 70 years of age. I’ve met many people in their late thirties, some who even work in universities, unable or very uncomfortable in speaking English.
It’s hard to believe Germany is so high on the list. I visit regularly and even worked there for a while, where are all the fluent English speakers hiding?

Finally started playing Baldur’s Gate 3. Based in impressions from the first 15ish hours, this may be a strong GOAT contender for me.

Proton bridge is available for Linux as well.
