Disk IO reaches 100%, causing system hangs

Running out of suggestions.

Many reports of freezing with btrfs quota enabled.

Read link completely first (then decide if you want to disable):

sudo btrfs quota disable /

This will impact timeshift, but possibly might help with your issue.

Btrfs documentation regarding adding quota support in BTRFS:

https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Quota_support

I believe this is enabled by default on most Garuda editions (definitely with KDE).
