From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It still sounds to me like something's up with the disk. Can't think of any solutions to suggest but I would run a SMART health check on it:
If you prefer a graphical tool, you can do the same thing with GNOME Disks, which also has options for disk benchmarking.
In the resulting report, the overall health state should be "PASSED", the "Type" column should show "Pre-fail" and "Old age" values, and the "Media-Wearout-Indicator" should be close to 100. If the overall health state is "FAILED", then you will want to back up your files immediately and consider getting a new SSD.
wait i think ive had a breakthrough, all system packages SEEM to run fine but all flatpak applications are effected. this seems to be flatpak related
just tested it, vlc system package opens in .2 seconds but flatpak opens in 30 seconds.
Definitely flatpak related then. Try running one of your flatpak apps from the terminal, and post the output here; might help pinpoint the issue. You can list the ones you have installed with
flatpak list, thenflatpak run <one of the listed apps, e.g. org.videolan.vlc>.it took 30 seconds but this got outputted and then the file ran: dave@dog: ~$ flatpak run org.x.Warpinator Gtx-Message: 14:29:03.389: Failed to load module "xapp-gtk3-module" Using landlock for incoming file isolation
Looking online, there are some suggestions to either (re)install xapp:
sudo apt install --reinstall xappor a related library:
sudo apt install --reinstall gir1.2-xapp-1.0However, usually I find that errors like this mean nothing, so I wouldn't be surprised if these steps change nothing.
this impacts file access speeds too, system package opens things in like .2 of a second but flaptak again takes like 30
Who'd have ever thought that having 47 copies of a library instead of using a shared library wouldn't work out great. 🙄
You mean 1 copy and 46 links.
Flatpak isn't a disk hog and this urban legend is dumb.
That's a shared library with extra steps. It's also loaded 47 times. Thanks for playing.
i do it for the sandboxing and flatseal. any suggestions?
Not specifically. It's probably actually a configuration problem though, for any other program I'd delete or default the settings. Not sure how to do that for flatpak itself as I won't use it.
why wont you use it
The only use case I can see with any validity is for the sandboxing features, and I have no need of that currently.
ive tried that actuqllt, it said there was no dev/sda. it did aay there was a dev/nvme0. scanned it and it 'passed' but i can try again
/dev/nvme0 is probably your SSD. But if it passed you probably have nothing to worry about
fwiw in the future you can find out the path to your drives and their uuid if needed with
lsblk -f
