It would have to be a weird issue since the video seems to be working 
nicely most of the time.

Since rebooting sometimes makes previous desktops unusable, I was 
thinking perhaps a flaw in the ssd was corrupting some files and that it 
only became apparent after a reboot, but it passes the SMART tests and 
there is no other indication of a problem with it.

I created a new user and logged into Plasma. It seemed to work but I 
didn't spend a lot of time. Instead I rebooted and tried logging in 
again. This time it locked up.

I'm back running Gnome Flashback after rebooting earlier today to try 
Plasma again. It didn't work. Neither did Gnome. After failing to get 
back into XFCE, I also tried TWM for the first time. It failed to start. 
Gnome Flashback seems to be the only installed window manager I can access.
