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.

Me, occasionally. I like seeing the little Pac-Man eat away at progress of a download on EndeavourOS.
Also, this video covers it slightly.
Oh god, the "your computer slows down over time" BS from people who have no idea what they are talking about so "fuck it - just nuke and reinstall".
Remove repos you aren't using. Uninstall / purge things you don't want anymore. If you don't know how to fix it then you'll just re-do everything that made it "slow" again.
