Hmm I get a crash once a week or so. No biggie because it restarts itself immediately.

More annoying is that gwenview often hangs my entire system somehow.

I get into situations roughly that frequency where I can't interact with anything on the desktop. That's when I switch to another VT and

   systemctl --user restart plasma-plasmashell

All my apps are there where I left them and I'm back in business.

		Oh for me it happens automatically. And my OS doesn't have systemd so that wouldn't work for me. But in this case it's not needed to restart something manually anyway.

A crash once a week is terrible. If Windows still crashed that regularly people wouldn't be saying "no biggie".

When Plasma crashes, all programs keep running. The only noticable thing (to me) is that the order of my apps in the task bar is different.

		Huh that's funny for me that doesn't happen. Though I guess I do have most of them pinned, maybe that's why.

It just means the task bar disappears for 2 seconds and then it pops back because it relaunches. Everything else stays in place just fine.

In fact the same happens on Windows a lot when explorer.exe crashes. People often don't even notice it.

I experience similar windows crashes regularly on my old asus laptop. It’s likely from the asus drivers. The screen gets black for a fraction of a second and the explorer.exe restarts.
