It shows your machine is setting the main drive to read-only, as a fault has occurred.
Was there a power surge?
Is the battery faulty or the changing board within the machine maybe faulty, causing power loss/surge/etc.
Or
Did you make any changes prior to this happening?
Updated profile. Pro version. Zorin OS 16.2
Battery was considerably new when I changed to zorin from mac os. No power surges. However, battery life is short (30 minutes) and a full charge only gets the battery up to 28% max. How can I solve those issues?
I checked the first part of the article... but I dont see the same things as in the article... actually... its kinda weird what I see... What is User1000?
free -h

Ok guys, I managed to clear a lot of issues. Those are the ones that I need help with at the moment. Can one of you give me some direction on this? It seems like the bios is being a bit weird when booting up (Part 1)... Then for Part 2 I have an issue with "Apply Kernel Variables". I ran a code to see what it shows but it really amkes no sense to me at the moment.

Much of this looks like a MacBook issue. Most of these can be resolved by using rEFInd to install Zorin OS on a Mac book: https://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/
It would mean reinstalling Zorin OS for you... But I would consider a fresh clean start worthwhile (after saving personal data).
Do you think the fan control issues and the battery issues could be resolved by doing the rEFInd approach? or do you think I can stick with what I have so far? It seems the computer runs very well at the moment.
If calibrating the battery has not worked, it is possible that reinstall with rEFInd could help - but I wouldn't count it as High Up on the list. Reinstall with rEFInd could help resolve a variety of system fallbacks that cause more draw on power.
But I do not think that it would correct for something like a battery sensor.
You have mentioned Slow boot - and listed some errors. So it really is up to what your comfort levels are.
ok... so far so good... however now I get this error:
nouveau 0000:01:00.0: gr: DATA_ERROR 00000012 [RT_LINEAR_WITH_ZETA]

Computer loads in 60-90 seconds now... but I get this error repeating when running " dmesg -l emerg,alert,crit,err "
You might try switching graphics drivers for your Nvidia Card.
Launch Software & Updates and move to the Additional Drivers tab.
It always seems to take forever to load.
I believe the 460 driver should work on a NVIDIA GeForce 320M.
8 bad sectors in my SSD (500gb)... Installed a Samsung 860 EVO 1TB.
Installed rEFInd as suggested
reinstalled ZORIN OS fresh!
All the problems I was having are GONE!!!! (Except for battery and temperature)....
I will be getting a new battery tomorrow on the mail.
For the temperature, I was thinking of putting net thermal paste. I bought Liquid Metal - Grizzly Conductornaut. I have been investigating the risks. Should I do it or am I going to be talked out of it? What should I do for the procedure to be successful?
For most things, I gladly encourage others to believe in their abilities and push their boundaries in order to learn.
But on this one: I would suggest trusting your instincts.
Some mistakes cannot be easily undone and can be costly.
Changing a hard drive or CMOS battery is one thing. But operating on the CPU can be risky... A slipped screwdriver, a dropped object...
