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

will be insulated from the outsideYou mentioned 5-10cm (2-4 inches), which is not sufficient. Does the building permit / planning permission classify the basement rooms as living spaces?!

The basement I am currently using, but only as an office, has no insulation at all, just a 25cm (10 inch) concrete shell and a V3 waterproof membrane against moisture.
It is always 18-20°C (64-68°F) without heating.
Here, it is not common to insulate as thickly as in Germany.

As soon as it can move freely, its function is lost. In drywall installations, the air is not stationary. That is why external insulation systems (ETICS, also known as EIFS) are applied using the point-and-bead method, not just the point method.

try it on one wall first, and if it doesn’t work out, you’ll hardly lose anything. Okay, maybe a few centimeters (inches) because you would then be attaching the drywall to the plaster.
But what does that matter?
If you can come to terms with that, all the issues drywall might cause are solved at once.
Be brave, it will work out.
