From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The "slow down and then quickly fully freeze", while it could be other things, might be a low RAM situation. Could be some buggy program that is leaking memory. Try running EarlyOOM or systemd-oomd.
I also have the problem OP mentioned, even after upgrading to 128 GiB RAM. I've had it on Kubuntu, KDE Neon, Fedora KDE and OpenSUSE TW, so I suspect it's a KDE Plasma issue.
