I have been having a strange issue since a couple of days ago. Every so often, the following happens:
- The desktop and audio start lagging
- Audio cuts out
- Desktop becomes completely nonresponsive
I’m unable to SSH into the machine during this state. The only solution is cutting the power and rebooting.
Here are all the errors from the past 10 boots:

The problems seem to be correlated with when I’m looking through (not running) a certain Rust project with a lot of errors, but that might just be a coincidence.
UPDATE 2024-03-27:
It seems like Android Studio is responsible
After killing the process (terminate signal was ignored)
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).
It turned out to be Android Studio
