Considering how helpful this experience been so far here, I decided to break the circle and actually post some useful info, if someone experience the same problem. Apparently there's a version issue and this particular stuff affects quite a bunch of people, so without further adu here's the solution: https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/issues/17616#issuecomment-1088750490
And yeah, you'd have to run: conda activate spyder-cf Pretty much every time when you run Python. Other than that - it works! Once again GitHub people proven they are the best! :) So if you're still stuck here, go there instead.
