Please vote to reopen this question. By chance I discovered that it was closed as unclear 7 days after the answer to it was accepted. Also it's not the least bit unclear.
I'm relatively new to SO so please bear with me. I've searched SO Meta for an answer to this question I'm having and haven't found one, so here I go.

I am on Ubuntu and just trying to install MySQL. I uninstalled it following this recipe:

I recently installed ubuntu 16.04.1 on my Dell Inspiron 5577. It was working fine till I installed GNOME 3.18 on it. Now it keeps freezing randomly and a forced shut down is the only thing I can do in such a case (no keyboard or mouse input is registered).
I thought that my nvidia (GTX 1050) gr...
I was installing a toolkit for my data analysis of experimental data and while installing I was prompted to be the root user. After being a root, and after completing the basic installation of the toolkit, whenever I reopen a new terminal I always get the line

@Fabby Something else about the Nvidia GTX 1050 GPU is it's a naughty boy about booting in Linux. Also the 1080 GPU. There's maybe ten different ways to fix it, so you have to try the solutions one after another uninstalling the old driver, installing the new driver until you find the one that works on your device. I can't see the terminasl output from here and everything else is sketchy, so it's no wonder that many questions about the 1050 and 1080 don't get answered at all.
And then there's this one posted four hours ago in this chatroom. The Nvidia GTX 1050 is acting up in Ubuntu 16.04 posted at Linux & Unix Q&A
Even if you can't install the driver for the graphics card if it's a desktop graphics card you can remove it and wait until Nvidia gets around to releasing a graphics driver for Linux that works for that card after reading all the bug reports about it.

Are there any substitutes, alternatives or bash tricks for delaying commands without using sleep? For example, performing the below command without actually using sleep:
$ sleep 10 && echo "This is a test"
I have an answer on which the new user who posted the question requires further help though they have accepted the answer... But it turns out I am short of some knowledge in the case.
Can I, for example, call on @Zanna to have a look at the new user's comment on my answer?

@Fabby sloppy maintenance by the apartment management group, took a slide on the ice that they were supposed to prevent by salting the sidewalks and they didnt
said fall gave me a bruised tailbone AND a broken computer
their fault
"Oh, our guy was supposed to salt the night before..." "Yeah? Well he didn't."

@ThomasWard There are so many people here that have old but decent junk lying around that together, we could have helped out.
My Linux Ubuntu 16.04 computer has been extremely sluggish the past few days. htop is displaying up to ~75% of "red"/kernel CPU usage (on a 40 thread system), despite no major processes running on the system whatsoever. I'm trying to figure out what's causing this CPU usage, however these process...
What you can do for simple programs like scripts is to copy all of the executables in your personal ~/bin directory.
for more complex things, it's difficult.
for really complex things, it's nearly impossible. (You can compare it to copying an application from one Windows PC to another PC without being administrator)
