Hi,
My problem is so basic that I even fail to figure out what to

My computer feels amazingly sluggish in everything that is UI-related.
For instance, it takes some 10 seconds for Firefox to fire up (counting
from the click on the icon). Same with Konsole -- 5 seconds.

Yes.
Regarding engraving on the keyboard hebrew, I know there is someone in
