Before I started having this issue, openSUSE was working fine on this computer. I don’t remember anything specific that may have set it off. I’ve been fiddling with this issue and for the past month or so and I guess this is a hardware issue. I experienced this on Leap 42.3 and Tumbleweed as well and now Leap 15, all will completely new installs. I am stumped as to what is going on and wanted to see if I was missing something before I start doing stuff more permanent. My computer will slow up a LOT to the point the graphical interface is practically frozen and I will have to do something through CTRL + ALT + a function key to shutdown or reboot. Getting logs is very, very slow in the terminal if I don’t reboot or shutdown. There isn’t a specific desktop environment (tried both KDE and LXDE) or program that will cause the problem. No difference with having a USB device in or out (probably unrelated but who knows). When the system is doing whatever it’s doing to cause everything to stall, something hardware-wise is making a lot of noise, which I assume is the hard drive. I have an HP 19 all-in-one with stock parts. Here is the journalctl of the most recent episode from this morning where the extreme slow-down occurs something like 9:33:
