Can you try disabling tracker to see if that is the problem. Or perhaps also ask this in the Manjaro arm forum.... . I believe tracker and tracker-miner packages are installed with GNOME. I am running the KDE Plasma version of 20.04, and don't have tracker running, nor am I seeing the problem you are having.
I can try disabling tracker, but I had been watching resource use, it never got too close to max and the PBP didn't appear to be grinding to a halt. The other info I have now is that it only happens under Wayland. Describing the problem clearly for the post made me think more systematically and realize that the change to GDM+Wayland was around the time the problem started and I hadn't tried Xorg again. Since I posted I have been using GNOME on Xorg without problem. Enough uptime has passed that I'm sure the problem would have occurred in a Wayland session. So unless tracker or other programs are acting differently in the two sessions, it seems related to Wayland so I can now poke around in that direction (without fear of the screen going blank in the middle of something!)
