sometimes my debian installation just breaks! i dont understand the causes and i dont even know how to start diagnosing this... but i do see some patterns:
- i can't open any programs. i cant even start a terminal
- if i have the terminal open, i try to run simple commands like ls but it fails with a "input/output error"
- system tray icons are fucked up: they become invisible when highlighting it with the mouse, and when i click on any of them, the fonts only show blank rectangles, like the fonts didnt load
- if im installing something through steam, all the downloads are cancelled and it says theres a "disk write error"
- i can't even shut down nor reboot the computer through normal means. i have to hard force a shutdown pressing the start button for a couple seconds
now, i have NO IDEA why this happens. the only things that i can do to reproduce the situation seem to be completely unrelated. i once tried to run a game through wine (but not through terminal, but making a desktop entry) and it broke the system. plus, last time this happened, i just was installing a game through steam. therefore, it may be that the reason this happens is unrelated to any of these things at all.
i'm running debian 13 trixie, kernel 6.12.85, kde plasma. any help to start troubleshooting this?

hace bastantes años se subió esta webserie (o "telenovela casera" como decían los directores) venezolana a youtube, y se hizo más o menos famosita en las redes sociales por lo mala que estaba hecha. la terrible actuación, edición y trama la volvió bastante chistosa e hizo que muchos le agarraramos cariño (incluyendome) a pesar de la baja calidad.
hoy en día es imposible encontrar la serie para verla de nuevo. en la playlist del canal se puede ver que todo el contenido relacionado a la serie fue vuelto privado. lo único que en mi conocimiento sobrevive, aparte de clips sueltos por las redes, es esta videoreacción donde se puede ver el primer episodio, pero fuera de eso nada.
alguien por ahí que tenga la serie descargada en su disco duro y la pueda compartir? o que de casualidad tenga mejores habilidades para googlear que yo y pueda encontrar un lugar donde mirarla?
he hecho un post en el subreddit de r/lostmedia con más información. https://www.reddit.com/r/lostmedia/comments/1t0f9er/partially_lost_bella_obsesi%C3%B3n_amateur_venezuelan/

as you can see here, all the default gmail folders exist inside a "[Gmail]" subfolder. how can i make it so every folder shows up inside the IMAP main folder? i've found someone with the same problem in outlook and what they did was to change the "root folder path", but i do not see any similar option to this in kmail. any help?
i'm using kmail 6.3.3

i'm using debian 13 xfce, on an acer chromebook spin 514 (ezkinil), full UEFI rom firmware. everything went fine, but i run the chromeboot-linux-audio script thats on the chrultrabook docs and i can't get the audio to work.
seems like theres some errors in the script, but idk what they mean. i've already ran the script a couple times but i can't get audio to work. would love some assistance here!!!
edit: FIXED!
the problem was that the script looks for a driver named "acp3xalc5682m98", but seems like in ALSA the driver is now called "acp3x-alc5683-max98357".
easy fix: just copy the folder and rename it to "acp3xalc5682m98", and also rename the "acp3x-alc5683-max98357.conf" file inside it to "acp3xalc5682m98.conf". then rerun the script, reboot, and its done!

my chromebook is listed as supported on the chrultrabook docs, but there is this note here. i've searched a bit and i'm not sure how to proceed.
archwiki says you need to pass this parameter either when building the kernel (which is complicated to me because i have no compiling experience), or configuring the bootloader so the kernel runs the parameter in the command line when starting.
my fear is that i wouldn't be able to configure the bootloader since i don't have the OS installed. is this parameter needed for linux to boot in my device? can i boot normally and then set everything up after the OS install? or can i just set this up in the live image? i'm at a loss here, sorry for being a noob but please help u.u
and since i'm already here, i will sneak a couple unrelated questions.
1- how's battery life compared to stock chromeOS? i'm thinking debian xfce
2- my device is a acer chromebook spin 514 (ezkinil board), it has 2-1 tablet mode. when going to tablet mode it automatically disables the keyboard and rotates the screen according to the laptop's position. is this compatible with linux? or with xfce specifically?
