I will edit this topic as information is requested. But for now I have some outputs from some commands for debugging.
I mostly notice this issue when running graphically intensive games, but it can also happen randomly at times when using other applications. It seems to be an issue of a GPU panic, causing KDE Plasma to reset the graphics card, crashing all applications using it and forcing the desktop to reset.
This wouldn’t be odd to me if it was a case of the GPU either overheating, or being overworked. But neither are the case whenever these resets happen. Checking temp logs, the average temperature on the GPU is stated as 63C when running a 100% work load. However these resets happen even when the GPU work load is not at 100%.
Helldivers for example at max graphics, 1440p only uses ~50-60% of the GPU and still suffers the same crashing issue. Sound, and applications continue to work in the background.
I can hear dialogue, music and even pause and un-pause media while the screen freezes. Then the desktop reappears and I get the dissapointing “Desktop effects were restarted due to a graphics reset”.
This isn’t a new issue, only new to Manjaro. I’ve been using it since Jan of last year. Was on 6.12.73 earlier and switched to 6.18.12-1 once it was made available. I also was on Stable for about 6 Months before switching to Testing and then back to Stable with a clean package reinstall. This issue still was effecting me then and now.

I’ll keep this updated with info as best I can. Hardware info is in my profile I think.
