Ventura 13.2.1 update

I would make sure you have plenty of SSD drive space available that is not used. Also, try booting into safemode which runs system diagnostics and repairs problems it finds. (Also, check if you are running any 3rd party optimize utilities like CleanMyMac, or Anti-Virus Software. None of which is needed and get in the way of macOS from performing as it should.)

Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support

1 - Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.

2 - Safe Mode will also eliminate Third Party Software, extensions and drivers from loading. It will only load the Minimum amount of Core Apple Processes to allow the the computer to function at a reduced Level of Performance 

3 - Does the issue present in this mode ?

4 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.

5 - If not - there could be something in the main User Account playing up. To further isolate this - Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac. Then log out of the Main User account and log into the dummy account and test again if the issue persists.

6 - If the issue is present in the dummy account - then, this appears to be a System Wide issue on the computer.

7 - Download the Application Etrecheck directly from the Developer.

This is a Diagnostic Tool that makes no changes to the computer.

It makes a coherent and readable inventory of both the Hardware and Software used on the computer 

The application is free or paid from added features.

Thank you again for following up.

The Report came through just fine

A - The Operating System and any Third Party software installed on this computer looks pretty clean.

A - It should not be causing any issues this computer is experiencing.

Q - Problem: Computer is too slow

Q - Description: Computer is extremely slow and frequently loses connection with the Bluetooth mouse, trackpad and keyboard. 

Major Issues:

Q - Kernel panics - This system has experienced kernel panics. This could be a sign of hardware failure.

A - what I do see is this computer may have a Hardware issue  as outlined by above from the Report .

A - I must preface by saying may have  and does not mean definitive does have a hardware issue

A - Also, I am not a Hardware Expert so would suggest as a precaution. Have the computer evaluated by the Professionals who have the Special Hardware Software and Expertise to diagnose the issue and offer possible solutions

iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019)

Drives:

Q - disk0 - APPLE SSD SM0128L 121.33 GB (Solid State - TRIM: Yes)

Q -  disk0s2 [APFS Fusion Drive] 120.88 GB

Q - disk3 - APPLE HDD ST3000DM001 3.00 TB (Mechanical - 7200 RPM)

A - Fusion Drives are sometime prone to these types of Hardware Issue 

A - Factor in, Fusion Drives, even with the 7200 RPM Mechanical Rotational Spinning Drive will always be slower that an all SSD Configuration.

A - Each time New Data is saved to the Drive the Spinner Drive must rotate to find empty space before it is written to the Drive. Not so for SSD Drives

A - It is the nature of Rotational Drives. 

A - This will be the biggest Bottle Neck in getting any type of Performance even if More RAM was added to the computer. That would only allow the computer to keep for Applications loaded into Memory

What I mean is, while I am in Notes, the links are there and work properly. But when I copy them from Notes, and paste it here into in the communities, it strips out the link data and only pastes the text.

1 - Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.

In this example, I created the Safe Mode Link in Notes but pasting it here it is then gone.

@P.Phillips, when you provide these type of responses (with several lines of info), including links, ("Safe Mode", "Setup Users, Guests", EtreCheck, etc) do you have to create each link individually every time you respond to someone, or is there a way to copy and paste the info, including the links? I searched this topic but didn't find anything. Sorry for hijacking this post.

Firstly, thank You 😀 for asking.

You are the First to inquire me on this

Yes there is a easy way to prepare some of this " Boiler Plate " things.

I usually try to " tweak " to make it personalized to the Occasion or User

Prepare the Info ( text ) in Notes.

For the Links in Notes , surf to the Specific Website

Back in Notes, Choose the specific text and refer to image below

Edit >> Add Link

When I copy my text from Notes (including a link as you showed) then copy that text with link and paste it here, it seems to remove the link and just pastes all plain text. Is this possibly a feature only given to those with a high level like you have?

I get the same menu as your getting if I highlight 'Safe Mode'. To insure we are both on the same page here, So you can copy the note and paste it into Communities with the links already there without having to create them again while editing in Communities?

Very strange. I have a 2021 M1 iMac with Ventura 13.2.1 and it just won't work. I tried it using Firefox AND Safari and copying a whole sentence with two words that contain a link just paste as plain text for me. I'll try it in safe mode and see if maybe something I have installed is interfering with it.

I just tried it in safe mode. Still won't work. If I copy your text from this page above with links, it works. If I copy your text above with links into Notes. It works. But if I copy that text with links from Notes and paste it in here, it strips out the links and just pastes plain text. Maybe a setting I changed in system settings? Frustrating.

Doubt that but to illustrate how the above Trouble Shooting appears in my Notes Application

Screen Shot and notice the Yellow / Orange bits ?

That indicates an Active Link is in place

Per chance, are you using Gallery Mode versus List Mode in Notes ?

I'm using List Mode. This is what it looks like in Notes: But then its plain text with no link when I copy and paste it.
