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!
