I have installed Linux deepin os on my laptop which I have been using for the past 6 months now, the past two weeks,the computer slows down and when I save a file, I get and error Read-only file system. I have two ext4 partitions /dev/sda1(is bootable and has home partition) and /dev/sda3. It's affecting the two partitions.
I have been fixing this using this command as explained in this question.
$ sudo fsck.ext4 /dev/sda1
Here is a screenshot of the output when I run the above command.
This fixes the problem but it happens at least twice a day, affecting my work significantly. I need help fixing this issue permanently or something that will point the cause.

I'm assuming your ran this on unmounted partitions? How old is the disk?

Could also be dodgy RAM, with the in-memory filesystem structures getting failures. Running memtest just in case might be a good idea. (It's a startup option on most Linux install media I've seen.)

@Kusalananda, yes am running the command when unmounted. Am not sure how old the laptop is but can't be older than 4 years.

The filesystem going readonly by itself is very likely the result of the filesystem driver encountering errors. You might see the errors=remount-ro option in the output of mount. It does that to protect the filesystem from further issues. (The alternatives are to continue and ignore the error, or to panic the system, see ext4(5)). You should probably see something about the error in dmesg.
If it happens repeatedly, it's an indication of the hardware going bad. Check at least the disk and memory, and make backups while you can.
