What frankenstine creation do I see here? Is that a mix of Dell and HP parts?
I'm a little disappointed thst the laptop still has it's case on, but perhaps that's for the best... heatpipes get HOT🔥

Thanks for posting @SocialistVibes01@lemmy.ml, that aeticle was more interesting & thought invoking than I thought it would be.
I'm using XFCE with a theme that feels like it's from the 90's and thinking about it, it does feel better to use than all the modern craziness that Microsoft has been doing in the last few years. I hated the Metro era...
I have pfSense as my firewall, running OpenVPN and I just connect when I need to.
Phone's running trackercontrol all the time to block stuff and I've disabled most of google on it, so I'm not too concerned whilst I'm out and about... most apps I use are local-data anyway, ie CoMaps not google maps, etc... so I'm using ~1GB/month.
Syncthing only syncs on known wifi, so when I'm home it updates with a NAS and 2 laptops (and photos with 2 tablets), so there's always something it's syncing with.
This is a really good point.
Remember that Microsoft has patch Tuesday... so... it's now just normal mundane patching. No sensationalism, no logos, no catchy names.
But we don't know what's going on in there.
Linux is now getting more news because more people are hammering it with AI, but we should hear that each item is being fixed and / or worked around with open discussions.
Well... if all the AI companies are making massive losses, might as well take some of their money from them and help them along.

To help with the overwhelm, If you scanned these important documents then I'm presuming you still have the (paper?) originals?
Treat them as your source of truth and work with them first - some might have superceeded your backups anyway.
Then, as others have said, follow the 3-2-1 principle, but keep one of the backups as plain and simple files (.pdf I presume)
If you lock the files in an app, you're making it even more difficult to restore them later.
Personally, I put my files (ie. .pdf, .jpg, etc) in encrypted online file storage (Hetzner) and I made sure I keep instructions elsewhere on how to get them back again (in case I'm... not able to)
Keep it simple
I expect OP's issue came after a recent kernel upgrade
Have a look on the Arch Linux wiki around udev and event debugging (evdev?)
Depending on whether you're suspending to RAM or disk will affect the time it takes - and of course, how much stuff it has to suspend.
If you're in the middle of a resource intensive task (which could just be watching a video... all depends...), then whatever is running needs to stop, and possibly has a full buffer which needs processing as suspend could be to the swap file / partition, which may need emptying first.
But, it should all work these days.
If you're not wanting to customise too much, the Frtizbox equipment is good.
Plenty headroom for normal use.
However if you have 6 people all streaming 4k netflix and need 1mSec ping for gaming over a 10Gb link, you'll probably need to build something.
Top Tip: open another terminal and kill the task from there

I'll come at this from a different PoV.
You're not going to see an Arr stack running on proxmox in my (professional) environment.
Yes, Proxmox is making progress there, but you should get some "VMs on ESXi" experience. The free one doesn't have vCenter, but it's definitely a tickbox for me as an interviewer. (Hopefully this was on your course)
Also, get a (small) active directory with 2 or 3 VMs running. Play around with RADIUS, Group policies, etc.
Do some backups, destroy something and do some restores. I want to hear stories of how you recovered from a disaster. A missing file doesn't count, I'm saying a failed drive, ransomware (simulated... but... the point is, you need long-term backups) ... maybe overwrite 0's on some of your parents media files and recover them... that'll get the stress levels up 😉
Good with the Ubuntu LTS... but do vary the versions (ie support old tech and new)
1 single HDD? I'd recommend you RAID up some more... or at least take my recommendation on testing your backups
Also good experience: get a firewall in there somewhere. Try pfSense (or OpnSense) to restrict traffic between some VMs / containers... then you'll be good for DevSecOps too.
