Instead of chasing a wild goose, I would try reinstalling again to see if that fixes the problem.
No, I have not mounted any network shares.
You realize this would now be the 6th time I have reinstalled Garuda in the last 2 days?
Reinstalling has fixed nothing. I mentioned this in my original post.
You updated your bios a few days back. Perhaps the bios update is flawed.
Sorry but nowhere in your OP do you mention installing 6 times, only that you reinstalled once and that is when the problems started. And tried reinstalling maybe once more?
I updated my bios in an attempt to fix whatever issues I had been having. They started before the bios update.
Did you completely wipe the drive and partition and did the problem exist right after installation? Or did it show up after you installed a bunch of stuff?
As I see you have AMD cpu why dont you just switch one of zen-kernels?
There are missing parts of your inxi. CPU RAM …

There’s the full inxi.
I have tried that, it changed nothing.
the problem showed up after I installed steam and my web browser. That’s it.
Trying to install a different web browser causes my system to grind to a halt again, trying to unzip a file.
Seems like a filesystem issue. Try checking SMART.
Problem in default garuda's btrfs tweak.
I found solution for me, maybe it can help you.
Try this :
Edit /etc/fstab and edit every "commit=120" to "commit=30" - save and reboot. If lags don't go out try "commit=15 or 5".
SMART reports OK.
There’s no “commit=120” in that file. Where should I insert that change?
edit: figured it out.
Still no difference.
I think you should check if the drive has many improperly formed file names that do not comply with unix file naming standards.
I have experienced issues in the past where the drive passed all smartmon tests, yet it was that one specific drive that caused I/O problems. The only cure in that case was to use an old kernel and change to one of the old schedulers to avoid issues. This drive caused system hangs unless I used a specific kernel and scheduler combination.
Eventually I clued in that even though the drive tested fine, it was responsible for the problems. It was an old drive, and I simply retired it. When I checked, it had many malformed Unix file names that may have contributed to the issue (or it may have simply been close to failure).
Perhaps you should also check to see if their is a firmware update for your SSD/NVMe drives (if you haven't done so already).
Please, do not post pictures from text files.
I would also test a Real Time (RT) kernel as I sometimes found them useful in these types of situations.
Here are some links you might want to read read:
When I plugged my drive into my motherboard, there was no firmware update.
The file naming issue seems like a weird one. Not sure what would cause this sudden change… but I don’t know.
Running out of suggestions.
Many reports of freezing with btrfs quota enabled.
https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=337637
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).
