Hello there,
It seems, that my laptop is freezing every time I start it.
It is bootig quite fine but after a view minutes of usage (no matter if I open Thunar, Firefox or the Terminal), it seems it is so busy with something else, that it can’t react on any of my commands. Can’t even move the mouse. Plus it is getting super noisy.
I did do a hard shutdown and changed to TTY3, where I clened the cache and cleared the journal.
But then, while removon foreign packages it froze again.
How can I find out, what the problem is?
I am still not an expert and I thank everyone for their tips!

That was the emergency help you’ve got when you run out of space because your 20GB system partition was full. Is it still the same issue?
If not let us see your hardware info and post the output of:

No, it shouldn’t be the same issue, I did a new setup with different partition sizes. But I thought it could help anyways…

Sounds like an overheat issue to me. Either one of the processes heavily uses your CPU or cooling system doesn’t do it’s job properly.
Try to monitor CPU usage and temperature.

is that the right for CPU?
Temperature I don’t know, how to monitor.

In terminal: sensors
(you might need to install i2c-tools
; used to be a part of lm-sensors
).
Maybe leave a terminal window set to “always above” running e.g. watch -n 10 sensors

This looks very cool for older hardware, can’t see anything weird. Next time it freezes please reboot and show the output of:
journalctl -b-1 | tail -n150
One possibility might be an issue with your drive if it’s an old spinner. If you have ‘Disks’ installed open it, pick your drive on the left then hit the 3 vertical dots and have a look at ‘SMART Data&Self Tests’.

Thanks for all your help.
I don’t quite know, how, but the bug is gone (for the moment)
What I did:
After clearing cache and journal it worked so far, I could make an update (after changing timedate setup by timedatectl set-time "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss
), reboot and now it works.
It seems that the problems occured, because the last update was quite long ago… is that possible?
I used: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/System_time#Time_standard
for help.
