    The problem was more that I didn’t even know what I was looking at. It just stopped at a screen with terminal output from it booting up, so I thought it was just stuck… After a bit I found something on an arch forum that mentioned opening up a new terminal instance (or something like that), and how to do it, which led me to realize that gnome got uninstalled.

    Once I figured that out it only took 5 minutes to fix, but I only found that after an hour of assuming that it was frozen and trying to fix that.

    I use Ubuntu and that is literally the coffee machine I use… Except I don’t use the actual cups, I’m basically only using it as a source of hot water, and instead I use different cups that are reusable, and just are there to hold the coffee grounds. And similarly, I got flathub on Ubuntu, installed shit to get appimages working, and accidentally uninstalled gnome at one point, which took me an hour to fix mostly because it just stopped at a terminal I couldn’t input anything on, so I had to figure out that I could open up a new one that would actually let me log in and reinstall gnome.

    I’m using an SD card as a temporary main storage. I could technically put in an ssd, but I lost/broke the part where a screw would go to hold it in place (it’s a strange laptop…), so the only option I would have is to tape it, and I don’t feel comfortable letting it potentially flop around in there… As for what a swap file is (that’s the name I found for it), it is virtual memory. It was reserving that space to use as RAM if need be, when I already have 2/3rds as much ram as storage.

    Farhenhiet and Celsius are equally made up. All measurement systems that we use on human scales are made up. And in this case, farhenhiet is actually just better. More granular and more useful on a day to day basis. Yeah, it doesn’t have the freezing point of an arbitrary substance as the 0, nor the boiling point of an arbitrary substance at 100, but it has temperature you should immediately be concerned about coming into contact with outside of -20 and 120, temperatures you should be concerned about contacting outside of 10 and 90, and fairly normal weather between those two.
