Are you on wayland by any chance? I had that same problem and it went away when I changed back to xorg (Debian 12 - KDE - AMD APU)

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.

I'd be happy to receive feedback on the downvote.
Not sure why you got downvoted. Maybe it was the missing period. You know how flaky people can be. Thanks for your comments though and hope life is treating you well otherwise.
that makes me think graphics driver maybe? Check dmesg output right after it happens, you might see something getting reset.
Yes I think I found it, kwin_wayland is segfault'ing randomly, causing the whole session to crash and restart.
Not sure how to fix that though ...
Please start a gdb console for the last crash with coredumpctl debug kwin_wayland, get a backtrace in there with "bt full" and create a bug report with the backtrace at bugs.kde.org
coredumpctl might help, it keeps track of whenever a process just ups and dies hard.
It looks like kwin_wayland is on there as "inaccessible" about the time it last happened
It's definitely kwin_wayland
