Error notification after attempting to launch Dolphine. Happens with almost all other programs too.

When I turn on my laptop, it works just fine. But then randomly, most of the programs stop working. Including system apps like Discover, Konsole, and even settings. When I try to launch a program, I get an error notification that the service was not found (See attachment). I thought it had to do with my laptop going to sleep or when locking the screen, but I recently found out that it can happen even if my screen's awake.

Note that this issue also prevents me from shutting down or restarting the laptop using the application launcher. I have to press and hold the power button to force-shutdown the laptop and then turn it back on.

SUMMARY
Programs don't launch after a few minutes of using the laptop and I get this error notification

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Turn on laptop
2. Use laptop regularly
3. Apps suddenly no longer work and an error notification appears.

OBSERVED RESULT
Programs don't launch and an error message appears.

EXPECTED RESULT
Apps launching as expected.

that's new.

Can you include output of "journalctl --user -r" just after getting this error

I've been trying to reproduce the error since yesterday, but I haven't experienced an issue so far. I'll upload the output once I get the error again.

Hey, so I just got the error again. But the problem is, I can't use the command you provided because Konsole stops working just like all the other programs in my laptop. I tried running the command in TTY mode, but I'm not sure how to copy text from there or take screenshots.

After restarting my laptop, I was able to run Konsole. I just ran the command and pressed and held Enter to show previous outputs. Here's what I found:

There are many other errors as I keep pressing Enter, but I'm not sure which are causing the issue. Here's one I found in red text:
