Every time I try to switch to Linux it's a complete disaster, and I don't know why. Latest is that I installed Ubuntu, and all was working for 30 mins until I realised that Firefox was "stuck" and unclickable. Could not close it or interact with it. Last year I tried Kubuntu and it had problems with audio wavering in speed and Steam making the whole system borderline unusable when downloading. I read with envy feedback from all those who seem to have no issue. I'm kind of fed up about it actually.

Same hardware or different hardware? This sounds like a hardware issue.

An app getting stuck like that is indicative of GPU/memory problems. Possibly the CPU overheating.

Memtest would be in order to see if your memory is bad.

Temps seem fine, but I will look to run Prime95 or something.

Will do so - I hope it's not bad with current prices!
