Hello,
Can I directly glue drywall panels onto the interior walls of a basement that is about 1 meter (3 feet) underground and made entirely of poured concrete?
Later, bedrooms and a children's room will be located there.
Could there be problems with condensation?
The rooms have windows.
I might also install a ventilation system.
Best regards

First of all, I don’t quite understand the reasoning behind starting in the basement to turn the shell of the building into a livable house.

Aside from that, following the approach of “temporarily finished – the nice part comes later,” the concrete wall is already ready for painting or wallpapering and therefore it is rather unnecessary to essentially “coat” it with drywall. From an indoor climate perspective, plaster is more suitable; drywall in all qualities is passive regarding moisture regulation. In my view, adding a layer of drywall to the concrete wall falls somewhere between “naive” and “pointless.”
I have never plastered myself, but I can handle drywall.

Adhering drywall is a different level of work compared to screwing drywall onto an already balanced substructure. Besides, following the principle of "temporarily finished – final touches come later," the concrete wall is already ready for painting or wallpapering, making it unnecessary to cover it with drywall as a kind of mere "coating." For indoor climate reasons, plaster is more suitable; drywall, in all its types, is passive when it comes to moisture regulation. In my opinion, covering the concrete wall with a layer of drywall falls somewhere between "naive" and "pointless." naive and pointless?
You act as if I plan to line the basement with steel sheets.
What is naive about wanting to cover a concrete wall with drywall? You expert! Surely nobody has done that before, everyone prefers plaster but doesn’t really know why.
If you have no arguments, please don’t comment without any.
Why not drywall??? Why plaster?
The room climate should be better with drywall, as it can absorb and release moisture more easily.

Why do you ask if you've already decided that you think your plan is great? – unfortunately, for some people, the only "argument" that counts is the one that confirms their own idea :-(

To clear the air a bit here:
I believe the main topic wasn’t about the thermal insulation of the air gap, but rather the feasibility of his project given his limited budget and the eventual execution.
Properly adhering drywall to walls is indeed considerably more challenging than just paneling.
It should also be clear by now that the insulation effect is close to zero.
However, since perimeter insulation and a concrete wall, possibly even a waterproof concrete structure (“white tank”), are planned, no air or water vapor will diffuse through. So there’s no need to worry about moisture. Also, a cement-lime plaster wouldn’t be my preferred choice here.
I would recommend gypsum plaster with a Q2 surface finish.
The advantage over drywall is that there are no hollow spots behind the wall if you accidentally bump into it or something else happens. It also won’t crack if kids throw a ball against it, for example. Fastenings of any kind can also be securely attached to the wall without issue.
I would suggest that you consider plastering the basement yourself or having it done; the costs are manageable.
As an example:
Costs for about 350m² (approx. 3767 sq ft) of wall surface (which you probably don’t have in your basement)
around €4000 with gypsum plaster at Q2 finish. Primer and base coat (concrete contact or sealing layer) then done as a DIY effort (about €300 for materials).
The advantage is that you could later upgrade the finish yourself to Q3 simply by filling and sanding.
Just my personal opinion.
