Well, to be honest, I never commented nor opened new bug as it seemed to be
linked to this one and I saw some threads of people telling there was no point
in opening anything new, and it might even be bothersome because devs were
aware of the issue.

But to give you an idea of how much of a problem this can be, I went through
months on my Linux with some random freezes of the system, most of the time
leading to full crash of the OS when it didn't un-freeze after several
*minutes*.

This stopped the day I disabled baloo from systemd.
If this may help you, I'm not an exclusive KDE user, have several DE/WM
installed and sometimes jump from one to another, and it seems that services
like Baloo are started, whether KDE is started or not rather than being part of
it, so may it conflict with other similar services such as Gnome's one? Can't
tell, I don't know enough of all of this. But imho, this is clearly worth
investigating when we talk about minutes OS freezes and most of the time full
OS crashes.

Unfortunately, the crashes were so sudden that I never found anything useful
from journald nor dmesg.
