Your desktop isn't working properly on Linux.
You experimented with PHP and local by flywheel alongside Atom in Firefox. You ran around with roughly 1.5 GB of RAM while working, then changed your desktop background from a downloaded file.

Consider removing the LXDE configuration files. Alternatively, try this method: open a TTY using Ctrl + Alt + F2 or F3, then press the appropriate keys (F2-F12) until you see a login prompt. It should delete your LXDE config files, which may reset your DE and restore functionality.
