I blame it on the busted bookworm installer. Anything plugged into usb

don't own a wired mouse. I did close to 40 installs trying to find a
way around that but probably 30 of he reinstalls were because it would
not reboot once I'd shut orca up. Couldn't remove it because of
dependencies until an update finally fixed the dependencies but now
I'm stuck with a 30 second to a full minute system freeze while trying
to create or open a file in my /home/me path. That's very distracting,
fouls up ones train of thought waiting and waiting for the file
requestor to open. Once it does open, freezeup is finished, but it
sure wastes a lot of time. Mouse pointer moves but buttons and
keyboard are dead.
I've personally had two different situations where my PC behaved that slow:
1: I had my network config mangled (dns not resolving or a mounted share
folder lost connection with the server)
2: my hard disk/ssd was so wore it took it that long to read/write files...
If neither is your problem then I can't think what next.
I've had where brltty would grab any USB serial converter I plugged in,
then I couldn't use them for their intended purpose. Since I don't use
brltty I uninstalled it, fixing that problem.
