You only need to learn how to start a browser. You're a little behind the times, today browser is the OS.

What happens when the OS that is running the browser fails to update because /boot has run out of room for a new Linux kernel (this happened to me the other week)?

What happens when the browser update fails because the package database got corrupted?

What happens when a lock file stop the whole system updating because of a previous iffy update?

You are going to need to drop to a terminal and fix that issue or reinstall the whole OS.

Either way you are going to need to know something about how the machine works.

Does flatpak update automatically? As for /boot, format the whole drive and make it /boot
