My system started to feel broken. Not crashing, but annoying. The kind of slow that doesn’t give you anything concrete to fix, but quietly ruins your flow, anyway. Apps took a beat too long, and switching tabs felt sticky. Everything had this low-level resistance, like the system was mildly inconvenienced by my existence. So obviously, I blamed Linux. Because that’s what we do, as soon as the system feels off, suddenly you’re side-eyeing the kernel, questioning your life choices, and hovering dangerously close to a full distro hop like it’s going to fix your personality.
