That might take hours or days. I have been experiencing this exact same issue under X11 since I upgraded my KDE neon laptop to Plasma 5.27. Never happened under 5.26, but it's happening almost every day. It seems to trigger after a long period of time on its own, without any user interaction. I can be away from my computer for awhile and come back and find that it appears to be dead except for a movable cursor. Disabling the compositor with Shift+Alt+F12 is what gets my session usable again, but the Plasma panels are non-responsive though I see that plasmashell is still running with htop. I've been trying to find a pattern for what causes it, and the I've noticed that plasma-systemmonitor is the only program that seems to be in an unresponsive state when it happens and needs to be forcibly killed. Correlation? Maybe. I was thinking it was some byproduct of the OpenGL drivers, so I installed the Obiaf PPA to get the latest Mesa, but there was no change. Since this is such an odd bug, I don't even know how to describe it to file it as a bug.
