It seems that this is the ‘find out’ part of 'F**CK around and find out for the GOP.
Not that they care of course, the poor are not people, and not GOP*
*Sarcasm, but also, GOP members tend to considers themselves ‘wealthy’, reality be dammed.

I don’t know if there is, but it feels like the email protocol problem.
Like, while the protocol sucks in many, many ways, it would take something revolutionary to replace it because it’s everywhere.
It’s been around so long that everything talks the protocol, the binaries that handle it are mature and stable.
Then you have to ask: what would you replace it with? It does the job it’s designed to do very well. There’s nothing the matter with the protocol, and it’s still fit-for-purpose.
That doesn’t mean there aren’t problems - spam, bad actors, and so on, but ultimately that’s not the fault of the protocol (though, maybe, for email, people have been arguing about protocol-level ways of dealing with spam for years).
I don’t have an answer, but I feel like there should be one, but I doubt the is.
You may want to look into Lutris. They’ve done a lot of work on bringing windows games to Linux, and basically do a lot of the heavy lifting for you.
It will also link to your Steam, EA, Origen, Cog etc accounts and do the same for games there as well.
The last time I saw this was on a slow-failing HDD.
Check a quick fsck might get you a few answers. You can find more info in the Linux manual. It could just be one or two bad blocks that you can recover and fix the problem (though, ofc, it’s time to backup your data).
The other, slightly unusual time I’ve seen it is with mixed RAM. 16gb made of 2x6g and then 2x4gb did some real odd things to the system. If it’s not the disk, and your box will boot with one stick of ram, try it to see if it fixes the issue. It could be that your RAM speeds are off (or your like me and just put two sticks you had lying around, and it basically worked until it didn’t).
An outlier, that I’ve not seen on modern machines is io/wait for a CD-ROM to spin up, even if your not accessing the CD-ROM. Normally caused by bad cabling. Based on the age of your machine, this is unlikely, but it might be worth unplugging devices to see if one is bad and not reporting properly.
This is, if course, assuming dmsg is empty
Final thought: see if your running SELinux. If you are, turn it off and try again. Those policies are complex, and something installed in a non-standard place could be causing SELinux to slow IO as it fills your logs with warnings.
Hope that helps,
It’s also difficult to ‘leave’ chromium when many of the alternative browsers are based on the engine.
I love Vivaldi, but at it’s cute it’s running the Google web engine. This is also going to be part of the problem.
There are very few non-Google web engines, and even fewer being used by other browser makers.
TBF, Pinterest seems almost made to be federated…
Damn, screwed twice by the same Ape…
