My new Manjaro KDE install lags like fuck after a few hours of uptime. It's so bad my cursor disappears and hotkeys to close windows take about 10 seconds to work. I usually have to just press the reboot button on the tower. It's not CPU thermals and doesn't appear to be RAM. What are some common failures of KDE or Manjaro that could cause this?

It happened most recently when all I had running was a video stream in Firefox, but I once had it happen after the computer had been idle for about 6 hours with nothing running.
I've been running htop, s-tui- and gtop for the past 2 hours and nothing unusual is coming up. It feels like a plasma issue but I can't get a terminal to open to kill and restart it. I guess I could make a keybind for that. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace doesn't seem to work to kill X.

what are the minimum hardware requirements to run KDE plasma smooth enough to be usable? there are no official documentations on this i tried it earlier on a 2 (logical) core vm with 1 gb ram and it stutters to a point which is unusable
