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.

It still sounds to me like something's up with the disk. Can't think of any solutions to suggest but I would run a SMART health check on it:
If you prefer a graphical tool, you can do the same thing with GNOME Disks, which also has options for disk benchmarking.
In the resulting report, the overall health state should be "PASSED", the "Type" column should show "Pre-fail" and "Old age" values, and the "Media-Wearout-Indicator" should be close to 100. If the overall health state is "FAILED", then you will want to back up your files immediately and consider getting a new SSD.
ive tried that actuqllt, it said there was no dev/sda. it did aay there was a dev/nvme0. scanned it and it 'passed' but i can try again
fwiw in the future you can find out the path to your drives and their uuid if needed with
lsblk -f
