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.

Edit: As I am in a rush to get this fixed I ended up doing a fresh install of Tumbleweed.

No idea, why this has happened. Just rebooted the computer after not having used it for a week or so and not all of a sudden not able to use the terminal at all. How do I go about troubleshooting this? Other terminals I've downloaded seem to be fine.

Any help appreciated.

Looks like some process in your startup scripts (fish profile, etc) have not completed. I have seen this type of thing when NFS mounts are unreachable. Try opening another terminal window... if it does the same thing, press Ctrl+C, then run ps -ef and see what processes are running as you that might be hung

Have tried to troubleshoot a bit further, and sometimes it will pop-up like normal, but other times it wont. But for some reason my Dolphin can also not search for files, it will just freeze and hang until i close it. Seems like the issue is deeper...? Even using the command ls in BlackBox Terminal just hangs and makes the terminal freeze.

Not sure how to proceed to troubleshoot this...

I believe this all happened after I installed Windows on a separate SSD on my laptop, but i dont know for sure.

dont think it is sadly, was working well before. Have not edited it much either. Also further troubleshooting seems there is something wrong with my system.
