I try to install only TDE, although I do rely on the xfce desktop until I get through the base system installation, and move to the TDE packages. I keep xfce installed for troubleshooting, to see if I have problems there. I suppose I could try running those browsers in xfce to see if they'll start. > You are on a Debian derivative?

I went through a reinstallation of my OS, and had already pruned everything that seemed to be the cause. I believe that myself and others (thanks to E. Liddell!) traced them back to the originating processes, as much as possible. In any case, top looks normal to me now; except of course that only 2 of my 10 or so browsers will start. > > Best, > Michael Since I have reinstalled my OS, the only evidence is what I posted to the mailing list. But as I recall, most of them were python3 stuff. I basically pruned back everything that I was installing, trying to add one thing at a time to get my laptop working like my desktop used to work. But moving to a different machine, which is newer, which has 64-bit architecture rather than 32-bit like my desktop, and upgrading to Devuan Chimaera, all those together mean that it's not a perfectly smooth transition to the new machine.
