I had this problem with chromium based apps a while ago, and it turned out to be a problem with missing cursors. I just downloaded a different cursor pack and the problem was solved.
I don’t know if it’s the same thing but it’s worth checking; a debugger can point you in the right direction if it’s something else.
Are you trying to install in a drive you don’t have connected or something? That I/O error is definitely suspicious.
To be fair, my curiosity for the system when I was a kid came from having a win98 computer without internet or any games installed, other than some freemium CDs and a neo-geo emulator.
I’d spend time just going through the menus, and I had no idea how anything worked, but it was interesting just seeing what was there. Also I spoke no English at all, so many things were out of my reach/understanding.
If I had Steam and Minecraft? I wouldn’t have explored the OS so much. Probably. That stemmed out of boredom as much as from curiosity.
What’s even more amazing is that back then I had the luck to find this thread and this other thread which also had the same problem. Because the most I got out of checking logs and debugging coredumps, was this ReadCursorFromTheme error (repeated like 10000 times).
Also, I had the default cursor pack and like with OP, it just stopped working one day. I’m guessing it has something to do with how hyprland tells the apps what cursor to use (hence the hyprcursor thing OP mentions), but honestly I don’t even want to think about it anymore, it made me lose a whole day back then xP
