Debian 11 is a giant shitshow. Floppy controller doesnt works, gimp crashes from copypaste, kpaint lacks icons, pitivi crashes on start, kdenlive crashes, pcmanfm crashes from cutting and pasting...
Are you using KDE ?
if so - Do these issues also occur in XFCE ?
If like that then I guess it is time to bail from the Debian ecosystem.
Debian is just too far behind these days
I use lxde. I finding KDE to be too bloated and slow since a decade.
i didnt like debian on my desktop because the packages versions were just too old for some software.

i switched to ubuntu some years ago. ubuntu used to be quite unstable but is stable nowadays.
canonical has same problems as microsoft
And I cannot start plasmashell in wayland mode w/ my nvidia graphic card☹️
I recompiling a newer kernel in hopes they have fixed the floppy issues. It seems there are no real testers any more, even most of the basic stuff just simply doesnt works properly.
Are you actually using a floppy drive?
Rarely but yes. Mostly for firmware upgrades.
Firmware update for what? A fucking potato?
mainly motherboards
are you operating a computer museum?
You don't have to, all hardware up to like ~2013 are best to be flashed from a floppy disk after booting in real mode (or thats the only way to even do it).
Perhaps the problem is not debian but your equipment? 😅
