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.

KDE Neon, AM4 platform. GPU is 8 years old. The freeze event commonly happens when Firefox with 10 to 15 tabs open is the active application, and mouse movement is present.
Perhaps it's a swap issue?
Swap is painfully slow, but unless you have a really high swappiness setting you shouldn’t just be swapping all the time. If that is the case, though, try zram.
