The argument for neutral Switherland does not work well. Proton mail repeatedly gave up user information when asked. One example here: https://restoreprivacy.com/protonmail-discloses-user-data-leading-to-arrest-in-spain/

I would start with creating a new user. If this will work (e.g. no crashes) then you are o.k. otherwise KDE reinstallation would be the next step. Good luck

Plus over Proton Mail: no privacy issues (in contrast to Proton) Minus: proprietary encryption works only between Tuta accounts. There are other options e.g. countermail, maibox with good privacy record... but I alvays use VPN when connecting to my email account.

But Wayland works? If so then something happened to your config. I would check your logs. Alien Bob will ask for your log files at least to understand the issue.

This just mean that you do not understand the difference between CPU and RAM usage or worse how computer hardware works. When I compile program, I forceall CPUs to be fully utilized. This way program is compiled faster. At the same time I make sure that system is usable. When compilation is...

Can you explain what do you mean by "The menu to choose the subject of Plasma X11 DE is not listed among the long list it provides." Do you not see a menu, menu is incomplete and xfce or other DE/WM installed is missing. You can't select DE.

How did you upgrade kernel if network does not work?

This is your KDE screwed up. I am on Slackware-current and my options are: Desktop Session: Plasma (X11) Plasma (Failsafe) Plasma (Wayland) Plasma (Full Wayland) plus XFce and Openbox. Based on the fact that you have issues with fonts I think that your KDE is damaged.

Well stopping caching is oposite of performance. Usually making system use all RAM is what one wants. Free RAM is just free RAM. Pretty useless. There are some options with kernel for embedded systems that may help though. I never tested them so not sure if this will help. Nevertheless...

KDEvelop fonts are modified in System settings. All font size and font type for window name. I am on Slackware-current so this may be different but changing font type and size is really easy and works including KDEvelop

all depends what do you want to use: RAM or swap if RAM to use (and has 32GB): vm.dirty_ratio = 10 vm.dirty_background_ratio = 2 user.max_user_namespaces = 0 vm.stat_interval = 10 vm.swappiness = 100 -> make it 100 for nice balance vm.vfs_cache_pressure = 50 # for RT kernel only...

It makes sense to keep a backup of all the documents and other personal stuff but I never made a backup of the system. It really depends how prone to accidents one is. I had only two OS installations in the last 8 years. I would prefer to start fresh after such a long time. Of course if...

I doubt that you have got hacked. What are the chances that someone would know that you just installed Mint who would make so easy to discover that box is compromised by doing such obvious thing as changing password. Easiest explanation is that you set mistakenly wrong password. I hope hat...

KDEvelop fonts are coded in KDE Settings.

Funny ..not long time ago I read here that there is best init system. No such thing exist unless this is personal choice then obviously there is best OS, best DE/WM and so on. Regarding the link provided by OP. I think that Acitities are half baked. At least in the current iteration. Activities...
