Not sure how it is now, but in the past I experience incredibly crashy plasmashell or kwin episodes. I also notice some other users report them as well from time to time.

In all those cases the issue was caused by some corrupted configs. Deleting broken configs or going back to defaults was fixing everything and Plasma was regaining its normal, stable state.

So please, do a copy of your Plasma and KDE configs (or rename them, move to another location - choice is yours) and remove them, reboot, see if the default Plasma also misbehaves or not. Then restore configs one by one, reboot and test it to find the culprit if you want to have the same settings for the most part, or configure KDE and Plasma anew.
