| No too bad but thanks for trying, those two folders and all the

Not that I'm aware.

Can be, yes. Or NFS mount. I have read of it happening.

Very probably the issue is some broken file.
Check also /tmp directory

I would create new user, then exchange the directories (and change
ownership). Then move to user 1000 the data directories, such as
Documents. And those configurations of individual programs you need,
copy them over.

Well, it does happen with Plasma. You are not the first one.
