You can switch to another network like BNB, MATIC or ADA. They have smooth transaction speeds and low GAS fees.
As long as there's the option to go with other networks for those altcoins that you're about to transact or send then that's much better.
But AFAIK, still, not all of these altcoins do have supports for their other networks and that's why those that are into ERC20 that has need to pay for the high fee needs to pay the fee.
BTC is the mother of crypto but with expensive GAS fees and slow transaction speeds this is a problem BTC needs to solve.
You don't call gas fee if the transaction is made in bitcoin. And this problem isn't for bitcoin to solve but those altcoins that needs to solve their own scaling issues.
