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.

ill try to explain what i mean as good as possible:

when it freezes it basically gets so slow that it takes forever to do anything so its basically frozen but its maybe just really slow?

also do you mind helping me with upgrading my bios?

Sounds like you might be running out of ram and using up swap, which just grinds things to a halt.

Open a system monitoring tool at the same time and keep an eye on your ram and swap usage. If swap is filling up, that's usually a bad sign. (if swap usage is small and not changing, that's not necessarily bad)

For bios look at https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd and it might do it for you.
