Frozen task bar/GUI

Bazzite GUI started freezing on me today. Errors I found via journalctl during my last freeze and fasfetch are below. I was unable to use the taskbar, firefox, etc I could use crt+alt+del to restart the sytem, but it would hang when attempting to do so. I had to do full shutdown to get the system working again. CPU temps were around 51C. Booting into windows I was not seeing any error/problems and did a stress test with cinebench and furmark. Did a memtest as well just to make sure. Any tips/reccomendations for this would be helpful

So idk wth is wrong with my bazzite. But I'm at the point where I'm about to go to something else. Parts of the GUI keeps freezing and idk what is causing it. I've tried digging through the journalctl and so far my searches have not come up with solid solution... Very annoying but idk what to do at this point.

wipe the config folder or better yet the plasma related files nv ~/.config ~/config.bak log out & back in

Get rid of the plasma cache as well: rm -rf ~/.cache/plasmashell If that still doesn't help, make a new user to see if it happens there too. If it does, it's not user specific.
