Welp.
It was the HDD.....it was "bad"...and on its way out...I made backups of
everything?....installed a brand spanking new 512GB SSD.(incredibly
cheap now on Amazon.com!!)....and installed FC32. Everything is all good
now. I dunno why it was just Nautilus that was acting flaky, but I'm
glad its over now. Thanks everyone for your assistance!
Question: Will the switch to BTRFS have any effects on my SSD?...and the
EXT4 file system it currently has?...
Cheers!
