Reminds me of the first time I worked in a newsroom in the early 2000s. When the repeated slamming wasn't enough, the whole phone would go flying across the office. I, unfortunately, had the desk by the wall, in the prime firing line. My reflexes became boss in those first 3 months.
You have 8GB RAM and 1 hard drive. Given the symptoms you described, I'm wondering if your system is relying heavily on swap due to memory constraints? Your swap partition being on the same drive as your system and data files would mean that access to swap could be impacted by other disk I/O and lead to slowdowns or freezes.
2 solutions to this. Increase system RAM and/or Install a second hard drive and move swap partition to this new drive.
I have started to do this and I'm using Docker to host Kiwix. I'm currently using it to provide offline versions of Wikipedia, medical guides and tutorials for various programming languages. My plan is to put essential apps and information on an RPi and provide a broadcast hotspot where anyone can access the info.
I also live on top of a hill, so I'm saving up to put together a solar powered Meshtastic repeater that I can mount to my aerial pole.

Am I alone in hating race-specific liveries? I like to be able to quickly identify the driver I'm looking at, which I do by recognising the car livery and the colour of the camera pod. It really throws me when teams change colours for a race
Yeah, because it stinks
