I reinstalled because I don't know what I'm doing.

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.

How old is this hardware you're installing on? I've had similar issues on my last install using a totally cursed lvm setup involving 3 HDDs, 2 SSDs, and an SD card that was apparently not up to the task.
Once the SD card went bad any time I'd try to access it my filesystem would fail and I'd have to fsck after a reboot. Couldn't take the SD card out of the array though, it was full too the brim so I didn't have the knowledge needed to remove it correctly. Ended up just nuking the system and restoring from backup without the SD card involved.
Anyway the download issue might be worth following up on.
It's a ryzen 3400g with 16gb ddr4 ram and a fairly new nvme ssd. Although I do have a really old 1.5tb drive acting as the backup drive. I've been looking at cloud backup solutions in case that dies.
