[Q] 'pivot_longer' applied to an object of class "character"
Such a function wouldn't add anything that factor() or as.factor() don't already do, but the forcats tidyverse package does make it easier to work with factor variables afterwards: https://forcats.tidyverse.org/

This chart has the days of the week on the x-axis, but they are all over the place, starting with Sunday and then going to Wednesday. My table has the correct sequence of days. So why is this happening to me? :\
Turn weekdays to factors to have some control over order. https://forcats.tidyverse.org/ https://r4ds.had.co.nz/factors.html#modifying-factor-order

Frustration: One Year with R
This was fun to play around with. I made some very minor changes and posted at https://gist.github.com/hadley/d54895557fbb0fe0402d2277b9011....
It revealed to me that there's a buglet in `forcats::last()` (https://github.com/tidyverse/forcats/issues/303) and made me wonder if `pivot_longer()` should be able to rename the columns as you pivot them (https://github.com/tidyverse/tidyr/issues/1338)

Does anyone else absolutely love plotting their data
I also only recently started using ggplot after doing most of my graphs with base R‘s plot() function. I started by reading ggplot2 by Hadley Wickham which is also available as a free ebook. Reading the first few chapters is enough to enable you to plot many basic plots. I can’t imagine going back to any other visualization tool ever again. Absolutely love the freedom ggplot gives you.

I am starting to learn R and I love it. I would like to learn at least 1 another simmilar language. Which one(s) should I learn?
His ggplot book will teach you all you need to know about R plotting, and is probably right at your current level. It is likewise pretty great, ggplot

How can I do this graph?
You could use base R, see ?plot but a lot of people would use ggplot2. However, looking at your data it won’t look very good because there’s going to be very few points per country.

Can someone explain how R project are organized and deployed?
If you included DESCRIPTION to your repository (like in ggplot2-book - https://github.com/hadley/ggplot2-book/blob/master/DESCRIPTION ) devtools::install_deps() and renv::install() will install dependencies listed there as would pip with requirements.txt , you can trigger this from your R script, from command line or from whatever deployment / automation tool you are using.

[Q] is majoring in stats a bad choice if i suck at programming?
Chapters 1-8 of https://adv-r.hadley.nz/, https://r4ds.had.co.nz/ , and https://ggplot2-book.org/ were covered in my statistical computing courses. I don't think it gets much more advanced than that at the undergrad level.
