What happened to my machine?

For years I thought I was running Linux... but I just ran "df" and clearly
someone has replaced Linux with another operating system!

Seriously, what kind of device is /dev/mapper/dobby--vg-root?

Just last week, it was constantly badgering me to exit Firefox to upgrade
its snap.
It said I had to do so within 12 days if I wanted to "avoid disruption".
Sounded like some kind of organized crime racket.
I exited, waited, it complained again, (repeat 5 times)... finally told
snap to upgrade it
manually, but cannot remember what worked... I know it took like half an
hour to figure it out.
Snap upgrade is too easy of course.

Really, I get less crap than this from Windows or MacOS.
