Plasma 6.1 is due to be released in three days, and lots of attention went into final release readiness activities: QA, bug-fixing, performance profiling, auto-testing, stuff like that. Boring but …
No idea, but I do know that if Window’s main UI freezes/crashes, the entire OS will follow as well. I’ve sometimes had to force quit the file manager and that made the UI crash as a whole.
It just gave up trying to read a folder I downloaded off the internet, so I told it “Hey fine, if it’s such a big issue, I can read and grab the contents on my phone, and give you what you need.” and killed File Manager, and that made my wallpaper go dark, the task bar disappear, and most OS-wide commands die. I had to force shut off with holding down the power button.

Luckily, in most linux distros, and macOS, you just kill the offending app (like Finder or Nemo or Nautilus) and you are still up and running.
