Is it the whole system that freezes, or only X? Try to open a virtual console with Ctrl-Alt-F2. Does that work?

Claws mail has a more recent version (4.3.0) than the one in the repositories (which is 4.1.1, two years old) and, as far as I know, there have not been security issues, but there are some changes that I ...

As usual, you were right.

For the BIOS update, I touched up the keymap. I believed that I had returned it to usual configuration, but I was wrong. Now it is well configured, and the superuser is here again.

Thanks also for your tip https://docs.salixos.org/faq/enable-root/. Now I can enter as root ...

Two or three days ago, I did an update of my computer's BIOS. All was right, apparently.
I don't know if it was a simple fortuity or there was a cause-effect relationship.
Since then, the user root does not exist. If I ask for it, an humoristic answer appears, v.g.
