So I just partitioned the Arch SSD and re-installed KDE Neon.
Curious why you restarted reaper, instead of just creating a new project?
Because I've noticed tha latest reaper in windows leaves a running process
immune to task-manager sometimes, after some buggy program crashes, maybe the same is happening in the linux version.

Also, is cmos battery strong? Is the computer power supply
close to being maxed out?
Is the house power circuit your cpu is on, shared by things that cycle on/off, like fridge compressors, AC, water heater, electric heater, and are
the monitors on the same circuit as the cpu, with power perhaps
distibuted unevenly at times with different brands/models at hand?.
And then the OS power management settings might need shuffling
to accomodate all your gear, but I think it's a power shortage,
from a 'coincidence', and the system protected itself. I would doubt
the kernel is faulty, but would lower the number of CPU's that
reaper uses, since you have a powerful computer. Over many years,
an under-spec power supply, and elderly cmos battery caused
the majority of my 'software' troubles.
Cheers
