I adore the Linux community because it's collectively so nice. If you cock it up, someone here will help you fix it.

    so far it's been so good! i think the only issue i've had with linux is that it will randomly freeze everything (usually if I try to load a tab in librewolf/chrome that's a chonky boi or if i'm in zoom) on my laptop and i have to hard reset and i can't figure out how to search for it because i really don't know what causes it :(

    It could be you're running out of RAM.

    You could try typing free or free -h in a terminal to see how much RAM you're using. If you see swap as 0, then it means you don't have it set up or enabled.

    I don't want to waste time explaining swap space if that's not your issue, but if it is then you can probably figure it out with some searching or come back for help once you've confirmed that RAM is the problem.
