  • I run KDE on opensuse Slowroll - Intel i9 processor with plenty of RAM.

    Check btrfs snapshots, and consider disabling them if you don’t really need them.

    Here’s my story some time in the recent past:

    Similar freezing issues that got more frequent. I have network and CPU monitor widgets on my desktop, and noticed my CPU usage peaking during freeze.

    Ran top, saw #btrfs was doing a lot of processing. It was running snapshots.

    I’d like snapshots, but a responsive system is more important to me: I have frequent backups of most of my stuff anyways.

    Once I disabled btrfs snapshots, I stopped having the periodic freezes (which I also noticed were often some time after system/flatpak updates).
