At the very beginning, I accept that I have a faulty mouse. I bought it last year, and it's been only one year (almost), and the left button is malfunctioning. Single clicks are often becoming double clicks, which is causing a host of problems — closing two tabs one after the other in browsers...
Ubuntu has given me a far more stable working system compared to Windows and its buggy updates. But, once in a while, I do find GNOME becoming slow or even crashing. If I find that the GUI is becoming unresponsive, I promptly restart GNOME using Alt + F2 → r → Enter This does the job most of the...

Hi PF!
Can you see the upper-left pink on my monitor? It comes and goes, though I don't think I've ever seen it on Windows, only Ubuntu (to be fair Ubuntu runs about 99% of the time). Do you know what it's from, or anything about it?
Thanks for your time!
