From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How big is the root "/" partition?
Sorry for the late answer, I am not receiving notifications for some reason.
The root partition is 507GB long and it shouldn't be anywhere close to full since I'd just installed fedora. And even if it were abnormally small/full, the pen should still have worked, so the issue has likely nothing to do with something like a partition.
Honestly, the fact that the pen stopped booting too, but only in my pc (it works in other pcs) makes this by far the strangest issue I have seen to date, so it could have had an equally strange cause. Is there any specific reason why you asked this question :)? I'd be happy to dig further.
