any idea what this is? Ive been seeing this a lot when I start up my laptop - sometimes it goes away automatically, sometimes it doesnt, but I have no idea what to even search for.

search for "linux fix bad bit", from my experience with raspberry pis i think this happens if you don't power off the device properly. if this happens more often, it's usually a sign that the hdd is damaged and will give in soon

That's just systemd failing to start Switch Root. Have you tried the systemctl status suggestion in the error, or reading the text file it generates?
