Total system hang while playing via proton

That’s rather short… and does not seem to contain anything related.
If you could switch to TTY (Ctrl+Alt+F2) when a freeze occurs, you could try checking the kernel ring buffer.


I didn’t spot it earlier, but you do have an audio issue: you are running both PulseAudio and PipeWire at the same time:

You need to replace PulseAudio with the Pulse compatibility layer for PipeWire:

pamac install pipewire-pulse
