The interesting part is that fdmprinter also failed to pickle - that's the base profile which most machine definitions are based on, it comes with Cura, and should be entirely valid.

Most of those things repeated several times as you've tried again.
According to my vaguely educated opinion, it's having trouble reading a printer profile - either yours, or the base fdmprinter if yours inherits from it. If it's the former - check your profile and make sure everything looks valid (especially the metadata, but in general look for anything in strings which isn't base ASCII - special characters and such like ½ and some accented letters). If it's the latter, reinstall Cura would be my first stop.
First of all, thank you for taking your time! I know that taking a look into the log may be annoying and even so you decided to try help me with my problem, wow, I really aprecciate that. Also, regarding to the GPU, the PC that I'm using for the printer is an older one: my personal laptop have a RTX3060/R7 but since I travel with it to my workplace almost everyday I decided to use my old computer for the all 3d printing thing and I tend to forgot to update GPU drivers since that's the only use for that PC (that's a disgrace on me, I'll correct that).
As for the printer, I'm using a XYZ Da Vinci Jr. 1.0 that uses its own propietary filament, so I'm currently using an external support and printing via usb connected to the computer in order to make the printer work with filaments from other brands. Now I see that this may cause a lot of problems... That's strange since the log section you're quoting is from 11/07 and it worked well all the way until 11/12, I didn't noticed anything strange those days so this is new for me as well. Maybe the part I have paid more attention is all related to the fdmprinter pickling.
Taking that into consideration with the final opinion you provided, maybe I should reinstall Cura and make a new profile from 0 if I can't find any issues within the current profile (also I'll try to reinstall the drivers for the printer). Maybe this is the best option... but this time I'm making sure to made a backup for the new profiles if this persist after installing Cura again.
Anyways, let me thank you again for all your effort: I'm still new in the 3d printing world (basically a relative gave me the printer the last year since he didn't know how to use it without the propietary filament) and have a LOT to learn so I'm making a lot of rookie mistake.
