What would happen if we replaced 20% of our atmosphere's nitrogen with neon?

It’s a thought experiment. And a scientific question.
Would such a replacement impact life? There’s still plenty of nitrogen left (for amino acids) and neon is just an inert gas.
The reason behind this question: On what kind of different atmospheres on exoplanets could humans and animals survive? We need oxygen, yes, but could the rest be quite different from Earth?
