Allen screws are pretty common on "non-user replaceable components".
Like, your memory bay should be philips, your chassis should be allen.
It's not an always thing, but Allen screws are not nearly the worst of
"non-removable screws".

Runlevel 2 is a START runlevel.  I believe it is multiuser without GUI.
This is why services are claiming to start.

Nothing too weird here.  Also, let's be honest, if your computer was
implanted, it WOULDN'T be posting messages to the screen for you.

These look like problems of your own knowledge level.  Important points
to research would be: Allen wrenches, Runlevels, How to install your own
distro rather than using the crap that comes with the computer.
