Various KDE and system issues in 40.20241013 and 40.20241014 while device is in Power Saver mode
I'm encountering several strange issues that only seem to manifest after the device has been on for a few hours. These issues only started happenening after updating to version 40.20241014. Basically various parts of the desktop start to lock up like the taskbar and notifications. Soon after the screen stops updating for up to several minutes (the only thing updating being the mouse pointer). Additionally putting the device into sleep mode by closing the lid while this is happening puts the device into an state where the system time, USB devices and various other things start to act inconsistent. Putting the device into sleep mode can also trigger these issues to happen too (usually starting with an unresponsive lock screen).
I do not know what exactly triggers these issues, they happen randomly and even happen when nothing else is open on the device. Usually I have to reboot to fix the issues but rarely they will go away by themselves.
EDIT: I found out that having my device on Power Saver causes these issues to manifest, on both 40.20241013 and 40.20241014 after around an hour of use or randomly when putting the device in sleep mode. However the device hanging on shutdown due to either systemd-journal-flush or ostree-finalize-staged still comes up even if I keep my device on Performance.
I've attached a journalctl from a few minutes before the issues started happening up until I saved the log and rebooted along with an output of rpm-ostree status.

I'm seeing similar issue on my legion go since updating. Especially the sleep and unresponsive screen.
If you don't mind configuring plasma again, I would use something like https://github.com/JackPala/KDEnuker to delete all your plasma settings, reboot and start over. Could be some missconfiguration somewhere. I had something similar on my arch instalation and this solved it

I don't know if it's my KDE settings (I barely changed anything at all, only adding Window Rules for Steam and the Discord client so they don't pop over everything) as well as changing the power profile to Power Saver when on battery. Additionally in both 40.20241014 and 40.20241013 the system hangs on shutdown due to systemd-journal-flush or ostree-finalize-staged timing out if it was on long enough (30+ minutes).
