Every so often, my system totally freezes; uses to be every day for a while. Sometimes it freezes for only a minute or two; sometimes it has been for over an hour, but I didn't want to reboot because I had unfinished and unsaved work trapped there. Then, maybe three or four times over the past few months, sometimes the system just shuts down and restarts, no reason, so that I am back to my custom login screen. Besides these anomalies, I also have tdenetworkmanager crash fairly often, but I just restart it. Usually it only crashes when not actually online. This may be related to what I just described above, or maybe not. Then there is konqueror. Konqueror crashes rather a LOT nowadays, whenever I have external drives plugged in. Doesn't seem to matter what kind of drives, whether I use a USB dongle or extension or my powered 13-port USB hub; doesn't matter if I plug the drive directly into the laptop. Whenever I unmount a drive, chances are about even whether or not konqueror will also crash, which means I have to reconstruct my regular locations -- that is, the places in my system, or on external drives, where I spend most of my time. So far I don't see any pattern in these. I thought maybe firejail was partly to blame, as I have been trying to make my system more secure by limiting access, etc. But that also doesn't seem to matter. I assumed that these problems would get smoothed out with the newer releases, as I upgraded my system. This has happened in the past, so I decided to be patient. In any case, I am in the midst of moving everything out of the city and away to Ultima Thule, or as close as I can get to that happy land, up among the redwoods and generally outside the bane of civilization. I don't have much time to spare tracking down bugs or other issues. If anybody else has similar problems, I would be more inclined to take the trouble.
