Sometimes all you find are common birds and you can't always get close to them to get a good framing. This is my experiment on minimalism.

I saw the clouds starting to cover the mountain top and thought this might give a good photo.

I had to use both since I don't own a nice camera or lenses. I think exposure time was around 6 seconds. If you darken it by 2EV, it should be close to how it looked to the naked eye

I'm impressed you shot this on a Ricoh GR. Looks fantastic!

Refreshing day trying to capture things that I find pretty. Not worried about shooting an awesome photo, just focused on capturing something I find beautiful and pleasant to look at.
Indeed it looks like a bug. I finally found a solution, though. Check the main post edit for details.
You are right, I should have made this clear. I am not on Nvidia, I am using an old Thinkpad on Intel Haswell.
I'm glad to know my problem isn't completely new. I'll look into it further online. If you ever find a link to a report of a similar issue, I would be happy to see!
Edit: I found this link, the issue reported appears to be very similar to what I'm seeing here https://libreddit.tux.pizza/r/kde/comments/jhqbnz/kde_plasma_rendering_problem_black_squares/
Edit 2: I finally solved my problem! It was indeed an old problem already reported somewhere.

Today I decided to test the output of my Nikon D3200 on an external monitor using an HDMI cable (mini to regular).
I had a generic USB capture card laying around (picture attached) I bought online many years ago to use an old GoPro as a webcam. I plugged the card to my computer running Linux (Debian) and the HDMI cable to the camera. After installing
v4l-utils(and consequentlygstreamer1.0-tools,v4l2loopback, etc), I could see my camera as a/dev/video2device and mirror its screen to VLC.Now, I understand the Nikon D3200 isn't really well supported for computer control. I could use it as a webcam during the lockdown using Ben Chapman's guide through the UC-E6 USB cable, but I tried to control it using Entangle and couldn't do much.
My question is: I simply unplugged the camera from the computer/capture card and connected it to my TV. Suddenly, I was limited to a slide show of the image and videos stored on the SD memory card, no screen mirroring or live preview. From what I've read, the Nikon D3200 isn't supposed to support screen mirroring anyway (neither through HDMI nor USB, through
gphoto2or whatever), but I don't exactly understand why it works with this USB/HDMI capture card setup.How is a USB/HDMI capture device interpreted differently by the camera compared to a TV? I tried manually setting the output resolution on the camera, but the outcome is the same, regardless of camera configs.
I appreciate your input!
I might ask the same question on https://photo.stackexchange.com to get their perspective on it.
Here are the images:
Edit: I figured out what is happening here. By checking the D3200 Reference Manual, I figured out my TV supports HDMI-CEC. If the "Device control" option is set to "Yes" in the settings, the camera will prioritize the slideshow functionality whenever HDMI-CEC is supported. If HDMI-CEC isn't supported by the display, then a mirrored image of the camera's screen will be outputted. To have the same output for both cases, I need to turn off the "Device control" option.

When the camera is attached to an HDMI video device, the camera monitor will remain on and the video device will display the view through the lens as shown at right. If the device supports HDMI-CEC, select Off for the HDMI > Device control option in the setup menu (0 124) before shooting in live view
Page 90:
When the camera is connected to a video device, the device will display the indicators shown at right. The camera monitor does not show the sound level, and the R can not be used to hide or display indicators in the monitor or on the video device. If the device supports HDMI-CEC, select Off for the HDMI > Device control option in the setup menu (0 124) before shooting in live view.
Page 124:
HDMI displays connected via an HDMI cable can be used for live view and movie recording (0 86, 90). During movie recording and playback, HDMI output is adjusted according to the option selected for Movie settings > Frame size/frame rate in the shooting menu (0 90). Note that some devices may not support the selected setting; in this case, select 1080i (interlaced) for HDMI > Output resolution (0 124). Movies may be output at a frame size smaller than that selected for Frame size/frame rate (0 90).
I audibly laughed at this. I actually knew I was entering treacherous waters by running apt full-upgrade in Sid, but still thought "well, we'll see..."
If I am not mistaken, I used a Debian KDE live image from the official repository then switched the mirrors from Bookworm to Sid. The system went months without a single issue, then this happen.
Your suggestion will actually be my solution of choice if everything else fails: reinstall / and import relevant files from a backup that I already have.
Thanks for the tip! However, I tried apt reinstall kde-full and apt --fix-broken install, but no packages were installed and (unsurprisingly) the problem still persists.
The Gentoo sub had such a nice subtitle because it is indeed accurate! Definitely one of the things I like the most about "flexible" distros.
"Gentoo Linux: Because you like it when the power is in your hands"
Yeah, I tried installing kde-full but it didn't solve my problem.
I do store regular backups of this machine, but not of /var. I can always reinstall Debian (or whatever other distro), while keeping other relevant configs intact (stored in the backups) and not lose any critical data.
I commented below that I did check /var/log/dpkg.log, but it didn't help much due to the high number of packages removed that day.
At this point I am more curious to learn more about KDE and what is causing the problem, since other desktop environments (I installed mate) seem to work fine.
Sadly I am not using BTRFS for my root directory on this specific system. If I end up deciding to reinstall, I will definitely go back to BTRFS to avoid such problems.
Debian actually has a KDE group named kde-full. I reinstalled it but the issue persists, which was honestly surprising to me.
~$ sudo apt install kde-full
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
kde-full is already the newest version (5:147).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 87 not upgraded.
The new user idea was really clever, thanks for the suggestion! I will try that now and see.
Edit: the new user also presents the same problem. Actually, it makes sense, since SDDM is affected as well (I should have mentioned that before).
Haha, yes, I'm glad they chose not to!
