Being extremely clear now:
Execute:
sudo usermod --append --groups wheel mbugua
I can humbly confirm that the system is fine now with no freezes at all! Creating a new user and upgrading the kernel to version 5.12.1-2 solved the issue. Thank you fabby!

Well it froze again, completely unusable until a hard reboot had to be done.
The freeze started by inter changing the mouse button functions, then went completely ice, even the backlight keyboard lights would not go off. They stayed on until the reboot. Then even after rebooting the same thing happened all over again!

Didn’t note the time for a journalctl.
I hope you did a REISUB??? If not; that is a sure way of messing up your system partition and getting all kinds of trouble!
After the above REISUB, please?
While I’m looking into that, please also:
- Try another mouse
- have a look if there is a BIOS / UEFI firmware upgrade for your machine…
Fabby,
Failed to parse timestamp: “2021-05-21
[kevinm@DataNav ~]$ journalctl --system --boot=-1 --since “2021-05-21 14:19:01” --until “2021-05-21 14:20:01”
Failed to parse timestamp: “2021-05-21Oh wow. there is a bug in journalctl. it used to be able to do that just a few days ago… 
So do it manually: redirect to a text file and cut the superfluous information.
How about:
Its was the internal touchpad and not an external mouse. And nop i dont have any new Bios update for my PC…also been trying to do a REISUB but nop it does not work either. If i hold ALT key and press the buttons, it just highlights the usual ALT shortcuts on the browser. Also noticed with the current form of freeze, i can restart the PC by pressing the power button and choosing “restart”. Apparently only the DE(plus the apps already opened) is freezing. And it has happened thrice in 5 minutes so far. Would it be due to the updates that were pushed early on this week?
Also i have no clue how to export the journal data to a text file(novice human being here)
OK, I can’t help you any further then… My apologies, solution removed to attract other experts.
Meeeen!! this random freezes are killing me!! Totally killing! Anyone, kindly assist. About to give up on the whole Manjaro Journey.
@Fabby is there anyone from the Manjaro team that you can direct them this way concerning my issue? Have just experienced 2 consecutive freezes and its really killing my productivity and work flow!
Please read this:
But read the last section first and If you’re still interested, read the other sections as well.
@Fabby was going through some logs of journalctl and come across this few lines:
