Try to disable your swap. You don't need a 16Gb swap partition. If you really need to hibernate, try switching to a swapfile instead, but that can cause resume errors.

Do you have a swapfile >8 Gb ? that might be it.
If not, BTRFS and resume kernel parameter tend to not work well. You might want a non btrfs swapfile. You can create a separate partition or a file.
Arch and arch based distros tend not to handle hibernation without tweaks.
It's true. On the other hand distros like Zorin or Pop!_OS don't need the command line and work "out of the box".
The real problem being that, Linux users are nerds. And once you get use to power, you can't imagine a time where you did not have that power. That is why when a newbie asks "what linux should I use", the answers are never the right ones. It's always : you can use that to do that, or that one is better for that aspect or [...] omitting the simple fact that before all of that, to have more Linux users, the goal is NOT to scare them. Give them something easy, that works. They'll eventually figure it out.
That's the point of the article. It's well written. It's spot-on.
It's sad that you hate it. It's good that you found a way to fight against change.
I will however admit that I didn't consider Thunderbird ac an alternative for my email management prior to v.115. Now I find it finally not ressembling a Windows 98 email client and really like it.
I use mailspring. Looks slick, it's open source. Pretty easy to install via flatpak (and soso easy without flatpak)

VirtualBox, but don't go for Ubuntu, rather go for Zorin. It's way more user friendly :)
Syncthing. Easy to use, easy to understand.
Have you tried putting the script tag(s) at the end of the body tag ?
